Hello, everyone. I have just replaced both rear driveshaft u-joints on a 2005 4x4 Explorer V6 (it had some of the symptoms, like clunking when engaging Reverse). I installed the heavy duty non-greasable Spicer ones recommended by RockAuto, and I used a ball joint press. After re-installing the...

What the heck are these things? They're on the transfer case and rear axle on my '97 XLT, which rolls quietly, but not on my '99 Limited (4wd) which howls at speed. They're also not on my '98 Sport, but it's a 2wd. The guy I bought the Limited from replaced bearings and the transfer case trying...

There is an older thread on this forum titled "vibration-at-highway-speeds" that addresses some of what my 2013 XLT is doing, but not many recent posts in reply, so looking for fresh answers and insight. We bought our 2013 XLT w/40K miles in December 2015 from a Ford dealer. The car was a...

On a fifty mile trip on the expressway last night, I heard/felt a new vibration. Very annoying. It almost felt like it was coming from the roof behind the drive seats (but it wasn't). It persisted for 20 miles or so, and seem to fluctuate (and even stop for a split second) going over bumps...

When I brake, especially if going over 40MPH or so, the front end seems to vibrate quite a bit. My brake pads aren't in the best condition and I have a new set of rotors and pads coming next week (ugh, I hate shipping time). Does it sound like something new rotors and pads might fix?

I have a 2001 XLT with a 4.0 V6 SOHC and it has developed a pretty bad vibration when accelerating. I bought the truck in December of 2016 and the only issues with it were the thermostat being stuck open and the 4X4 lights were flashing. Well I disconnected the battery and got the 4X4 lights...

Hi all. Just traded in our wonderful 2014 fx4 f150 for a new 2017 Ford explorer sport. We test drove one brand new at one dealership and it drove wonderfully. Smooth, nimble and quick. We purchased the same exact vehicle down to the msrp at a different dealer. We picked up the explorer with 12...
