Hi all,
Another new problem with my Explorer. When driving, my tracking has been off for a while so it pulls to the right. However the other day it started a bump, bump, bump noise when driving straight or turning left. I had been getting a squeak, squeak, squeak for a while that was noticeable when pulling away but was very faint.
The bump, bump, bump is steering related and almost reminds me of having something stuck in the tire.
I am thinking it is a bad CV joint - does this sound right?
If so, can I assume it is the left joint that needs replaced if it only causes issue when turning left?
