alright heres the deal. i just dropped my x off at the mechanics but even he is having trouble finding whats wrong. about 3 weeks ago my explorer started vibrating in the front end..it would last for a minute then go away.. then on the way back from a camping trip it got so bad that i slowed down to stop to see what was wrong. when i tried driving forward i got this horendous click,scrape and crack noise every rotation of the wheels. The ex was towed and a new cv joint and output shaft from the transfer case was put on..(thats what they called it) anway it was fine for a few weeks (i havent driven on the highway since) so today i take it out on the highway and 20 minutes into the trip its starts to vibrat again in the fron end. I got it back to the shop without incident. anyone have any idea what it might be ???
 






it could be your tires or your cv joint again but cheack your tires first
