my explorer has something wrong lol. when i accelorate there is a loud banging noise. i removed my front driveshaft to determin if the noise was coming from the front or rear and it is definatly in the front. i changed both front wheel bearings, drivers side cv shaft and drivers side outer tierod plus pads and rotors on both sides. i know tierod and brakes are not the problem they just needed to be changed. the drivers side cv shaft was really bad and passangers side wheel bearing was really bad. anyways the noise is still there. i did fill the front diff with gear oil and the u-jount on the front driveshaft seems to be ok. what else could be the problem ???
 






This sounds exactly what I'm experiencing in my 95.. I would love to hear what it is... havent been able to figure it out just yet ..
