my explorer has slowly been getting worse with a noise in the front end. it makes a noise similar to that of when you have bogger tires. the noise is the worst at 50 and 70mph. i thought it was because i needed new tires, although i bought 4 new tires, and got a 4 wheel alignment and the noise isnt any better? has anyone experienced this or have any ideas?

does the noise change when you turn? sounds like a wheel bearing.
 






hard to say because its mostly on the highway but if i recal it does quiet down a little when turning
 






Probably your wheel bearing, they go often on the explorers.
 






ill have to check out the bearings then, if thats what the majority votes. thanks
