- 03 Explorer Sport XLT 4x4
Ok so I'm stumped. I've been looking everywhere on here and found a couple possible solutions, but for problems which are only similar and not identical to my issue that just started the other day on my 03 X Sport.
Problem is when I turn left. Doesn't matter the speed, only the degree of turn. I feel a noticeable vibration and hear a vibration/rubbing pattern noise on left hand turns from maybe a 20-50 degree turn. I do not feel or hear anything on slight bends in the road or when I do a full wheel lock turn. The noise is a pattern like a it is linked to rotation: RUB-pause-RUB-pause-RUB-pause etc changing in intensity and speed with my speed.
It sounds like it is coming from up front on the left.. but I read about some who say the problem is in the rear?..
So cant afford to take it in to a shop and also cant afford to keep guessing and replacing one thing to the next. Any help/advise will be greatly appreciated.
BTW tires are perfect, newer and constantly rotated.
