My 02 Ex 4.0 4x4 (I guess that is important to know for help?) has a crazy side to side, lateral wiggle when accelerating from a standstill. Waddles like a fat chick. More pronounced at 20MPH. Once I get to highway speed, it isn't really a wiggle as much as just a vibration. I have replaced...

Preface this with the fact that I have replaced both rear toe links on my friggin vehicle in the past week as they had gone bad. I am pretty burned on the idea that those were "dealer only" items. Please tell me this is not the case with this part. The bushing in my left rear lower control...

I'm in the midst of a fluid change on my 02 explorer. I drained my tranny and went to take the pan off and the bolts are just shearing. I've tried two that both sheared in the tranny. What do I do and why are they shearing? Please help!:mad:

My 02 4.0 SOHC is kind of chugging on the interstate at 75 with the A/C on max. If I turn the A/C off, it runs smooth. Is the clutch going out of my compressor?

Okay, I have been here for a while and thought I knew what I needed to about the "death rattle" in the SOHC 4.0 V6. However, a recent thread here -> http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=281405 has thrown me off. Can we get clarification once and for all on the rattles of a 4.0...

I have the dreaded timing chain rattle. I have had it for 4 years and 50K miles. It has not gotten worse or better. It only rattles between 2500-3000 RPM. My truck doesn't have a rough idle or bad gas mileage. I have never had starting issues. It is just noisy. I called Ford (as I...

Okay, I've read the threads on wheel bearings, diff bearings, etc. I got new Kumho tires put on my exploder last July and ever since, I have had a humming and vibration from the steering wheel and accelerator. I also have a loud humming every time I change lanes either direction. I initially...

I have an 02 Explorer XLS (I believe). It has developed a slow leak in the rear-differential on the passenger side axle. It dripped 1 quarter sized spot of fluid on a piece of cardboard under the truck last night. The differential has a smal trail of oil on it as well. This weekend, I opened...

I got sick of driving in the cold today, so I decided I would figure out this blend door garbage. Mine is stuck blowing cold air, and knocking under the dash (front end HVAC only). This basically helps it shut either way so you get all cold or all hot air. But it will sure fix me until I get...

New to the thread, sorry for the noobness. I found the thread with the actual diagrams for removing center console and stearing column. I am curious as to exactly where the blend door actuator is in relation to the dashboard? My 02 4WD V6 is clicking under the dash when I turn to heat. It...
