My dad is getting a clicking noise when turning on the front passenger side in his explorer that has control trac system. Only happens when plowing because of the extra stress on the front. Pretty sure its the CV assembly.

My question is, is the CV axle the same on a control trac system as a 4x4 system?

Or am I way off base here that all Explorers in 96 were control trac?
Whats the difference in 4x4 and control trac? Dad has a 2wd, 4wd and 4Hi knob on the dash.

Hopefully someone can educate me :rolleyes:
 






They were either all wheel drive or Control Trac Automatic 4WD. Either way, the halfshafts are the same for either setup.
