- 2008 Explorer , Limited
2008 Explorer Limited 4.6 130k miles, . No accidents. Second family owner. I'm hunting down a very loud low pitched howl/whine that occurs between 55-65 mph. Seems to emanate from the left front or possibly right rear and becomes much more pronounced with even the slightest amount of left steering input and goes away completely with right steering input.
Troubleshooting to date with no change in symptom at all:
Replaced both front wheel hubs
Replaced tires (nice set of Michelins)
Four wheel alignment
Removed front driveshaft and test drove it
I'm now thinking power steering pump or rack or maybe right rear wheel bearing? Troubleshooting ideas welcomed? I'm starting to consider strapping a GoPro to various parts.
Thanks Everyone !
