Steering noise

[jenglish1984]

I have been experiencing some noise problems coming from the front of my explorer.

It is a 1998.

Whenever I turn usually left, at low speeds it's as though something is grinding or grunting. It's very annoying and I can't figure out what it is exactly.

Also, recently my "Brake" light has decided to come on and stay on. I have never engaged the brake, so im not sure why it's on.

And other thing.... On my drivers side door... whenever i use the remote unlock i have to push on the handle for my door to become unlocked. once it's unlocked the handle feels very very loose. Anyone know how to fix that?

I'm also having some problems with the rear passenger doors. whenever there are people in the back, they cannot get out without almost ripping the handles off. for some reason it is EXTREMELY difficult to open the rear doors. The child lock isn't on either.

Check the stickies for Hub Replacement and Floppy Handle. That will fix both sets of problems.

Ford had tsb for new ps hose for grunting/grinding only when turning left. Brake light is on probably on because fluid is low in master cylinder.
