hi so I have the 96 explorer Eddie Bauer edition, 4.0 v6. So I’ve been dealing with this problem for awhile now and only seems to get worse as time goes on. It’s been 8 months now. It originally started out with a light but loudisb grind noise when I released the gas pedal. That has now turned into being loud even when I drive, when it use to be just when I released the gas. At about 55mph it’ll start to rumble. Whatever it is it sounds loose, like a bolt or two is holding it on or something. It shakes the entire car which honestly makes it dangerous to drive on highways, even when I release the gas it shakes hard for as long as I can let it slow down without the brakes. It’s kinda like a thumping noise and feeling. I also use to get this thumping noise when o would be going down hill and only downhill. It sounds like something wants to roll or whatever, but it’s being forced to stay in place, it’s like a “click....click.......click” it’s not as soft as a click but you get what I mean. It would be about a few seconds apart from the last click, but it felt like my car was about to give or something. That doesn’t happen anymore and I’m convinced it has something to do with this. The rumbling noise and feeling I get on highways and when releasing the gas pedal seems to be coming from right underneath me to the front tire. Any idea what this is? Hoping someone has dealt with this before
