98 sport
Hey guys, I have a 98 explorer sport and ive been noticing a couple of issues when i drive. First, when i accelerate i dont hear any sound but as soon as i let off the gas completely, i hear a humming type of sound and it feels like im going over a gravel road, i can feel the vibration through my feet when i put them on the floorboards. Im not sure if this is a cv joint or a ball joint or what? I'm not getting the clunking/ clicking sounds when i turn however. Ive noticed a buildup of grease on the inside of the rim. I also have uneven tire wear on the inside treads on both front tires. If it means anything, I replaced my hub assembly on both sides 2 years ago and dont notice any play.

The second sound is a sort of groan it has always done when i make low speed turns. Ive kind of gotten used to it but i figured since im asking questions id see what this may be about as well.

Thanks for the help

-Livn
