I'd look into a balance and rotate of the tires for openers. Then look at drive shaft balance, and so forth..............."pear"

Also:
Vehicle noise: Synthetic-rubber radius-arm bushings separate internally, causing noise and degraded steering control.

Lots of info on this....rear end vibration may be the cause. Search under 'vibration', or 'rear end noise/whine'.

The 2nd gens doesn't have radius arm bushings...
 






I seem to have the same problem, and I have a 93. I've bought new tires (I needed them), so it's not the tires. I've bought a complete set of bushings (energy suspension), just need to have them installed.

My bad. I got a list of Explorer problems from somewhere, and it listed that problem as "all years". Must have been a pre-'99 list.
I need to get out more :D
