Hey guys, my 03 Explorer is up to 110325 miles and now makes noise (binding, popping, etc.) when turning (while only in 4x4 high or low - on wet pavement).
I know there's more to consider (e.g. transfer case, diff) but I'm mainly targeting the front drive at this point.
I've owned this vehicle since 82K and don't have a clue as to past maintenance history (or care), but I've never had any serious problems (and want to avoid any in the near future)....
Here's my plan - to completely replace both front CV Half Shafts and both Wheel Hub assemblies, but I'm not sure about all the parts (supporting assemble e.g. oil seals) and I'm looking for some input because I don't have access to Ford's official Shop Manuals to validate this stuff....
So, with that in mind (CV and Hub replacement), what seals, bearings, or something I missed is missing?
Just off the top of my head, the only thing that I can think of is the oil seal to the differential (CV shaft to diff) will be the only thing I need?
My goal is to purchase everything at once, so I can rebuild the front without having to wait for the weekend to borrow my wife's car (since we only have two vehicles and she takes her's to work)...
Any input will be greatly appreciated.... Thanks.....
