I have a 1993 XLT. I have recently driven a newer SUV.
I could not believe how much quieter the ride was!
It seems like you can really hear the front tires on the road,
while driving my XLT. Is there anything I can do to quiet down the front
end? Will new shocks help?
Thanks, Howard

I had a really noise front end on my 1995 XLT. It sounded like I had
monster truck tires on it (like a low rumbling sound).
After changing tires, the noise was still there, so...

I took a look at the bearings, sure enough they were toast.
Replaced the bearings and now it's nice and quiet.

Hope this helps,

Mike

I had a similar experience with the rear end. Really noisy anytime the
wheels were turning. New bearings fixed it.
