I have a 2000 Explorer XLS with the 5 speed auto and Auto-4Hi-4LO switch. My first 2000 was 2 HI and I had no noise from the front end. Is there a difference in the noise.
I get what sounds like a bad wheel bearing noise only when there is pressure down on the front end, sort of after going over a small hill. Not when I turn hard right or left, not when giving gas or just gliding but when down pressure on the front end.
Is this normal for the auto 4WD?
 






OK the front hub was bad, replaced and much quieter.
