- 09 Explorer EB 4X4
I have a 2009 Explorer 4x4 with 65,000 miles, so it is out of warranty. The front wheel bearings were making a lot of noise and vibration. So I replaced both wheel bearings. The noise and vibration is greatly reduced but there is still a very noticeable inconsistent vibration or rubbing noise that can be felt in the steering wheel at almost any speed. The noise does not increase with speed.
I did a visual inspection of the CV joints on both sides. The rubber boots are intact. I don't detect any abnormal wheel movement. I don't see any signs of rubbing.
Any ideas?
