Last night, I busted part of my front driveshaft, ripped off the transfer case skid plate, and bent, what looks like, a fuel return line.

The problem I have now is that when I put it in park in my driveway(which is on a slope), it starts rolling downhill VERY slowly. When it rolls downhill the e-brake is not on.

I'm wondering what could be possibly broken to cause it to roll downhill slowly in park.
 






man that sucks... dont let the news media here about this..... they will be all over, ford explorer rolls over all by itself!

posibly the parking pawl... but i would think it wont hold park at all then.... put wheel chocks and the ebrake on......
 






Yeah, that's the temporary fix for now.
I really want to narrow this thing down so I can fix it.
