I've had to replace the front CV driveshaft on my AWD Mountaineer (just like an explorer) two times now. It's got 120,000 miles, and I replaced it the first time at 80,000 miles. The CV joint always starts making a grinding noise, and then I have to replace it. You can only heard it when you are rolling slow, it sounds like grinding ball bearings. Then once you get going over 6 or so MPH, it goes away.
Is that a common problem? What would make my truck keep chewing these things up?
