- 1995 Ford Explorer
This is my first post here, but i've lurked for a little while, and i'm at a point where i need some advice... So i've got a 1995 ford explorer, kept in as good of condition as i can afford(so, not extremely great)...on my way home from work tonight, i noticed a weird sort of "squeaking" noise...i say sqeaking, because it almost sounds like the noise you get when you clean glass. it sounds like it's coming from the rear, but i know that's doesn't say very much...it seems mostly like it's random--it happens mostly when i'm going over 40mph, although not every time; it stops when i take my foot off the accelerator, though it may take a few seconds; similarly, braking seems to stop it. in the past, i've heard sustained squealing noises that ended up being brake problems; this may be a problem. I'd say that suspension may be a problem, but i don't seem to remember it making noises while going over rough terrain (neccesarily--this doesn't mean that it didn't do it at all, just that it didn't seem to have any kind of connection to the driving conditions.). I really don't know what to do here, because i'm not a "car" person, and i don't have the money for expensive repairs...if this is something small, i want to get it figured out before it becomes something big.
thanks...
thanks...
