hi, this is jack.
first post. need help with a 95 explorer xlt. started making a thumping noise yesterday. sounds like it is coming from the front. ckecked the wheel bearing by the "shake and pull" method. all was tight /no give. anyone know what this might be? thanks

couple of us have had simular problem. mine was a scensor but there is also a post on here bout this. if i remember correctly its the pins in the transfer case wearing out or somethin along those lines.

look in the search thing for "front end clunk" and if that doesnt work "transfer case clunk"

clunking noise front end '95 explorer

in my post i said that we had tried to move both from tires using the " grab and shake" method. I think that was misleading, might have thrown a few in the wrong direction.
Jacked the front end up and found that the driver's side had more movement than a belly dancer. gotta a new hub everything is good. thanks to all.
