- 1996 Explorer XLT 5.0
here's my story, i have a 1996 ford explorer xlt, 5.0l and it's two wheel drive, the truck runs great but the front end is reaching my patience limits, i even thought about cutting the frame appart today and welding on a f250 leaf spring front end. I recently like the past 5 months replaced, the ball joints, tie rod end links ; both pair inner and outer, the torsion bar adjusters and i have a rattling noise from the front that drives me nuts. sound like a metalic rattle, the exhaust is in great shape all the shield and stuff are tight, the shocks are new edlebrocks about 12 months old. I found today that one of the sway bar links broke, so i gladly ran to the parts store for a new one, no dice, this rattles,...................maybe its the otther sway bar link? any thoughts? i am really reaching my limits.
