Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / December 20062003 EXPLORER REAR END NOISE
My explorer has 80,000 and recently I have notice a low pitched noise from the rear of the truck. It varies with speed and it's not very loud. It may be a wheel bearing or something else. Anyone else had a similar problem? How do you find if there has been a service notice or recall? Thanks for any help. Jim Uh oh. This sounds like the infamous Explorer whining rear end / differential. Thousands of '02 Explorers (including mine) were afflicted with this, and I believe it went on into the '03 model year. In most cases, Ford paid for a rebuild of the diff, but some people have had problems getting that to happen. Check with your dealer. If you can find a history for this discussion group (maybe on Google groups?), you can read hundreds of posts about it.

They replaced it one week before the 36 mo. ran out. No problem they just wanted to test it out themselves, of course on the seat I had left printouts from this newsgroup just in case! Good luck > Uh oh. This sounds like the infamous Explorer whining rear end / > differential.

Thank God I requested the 100K warranty as part of the sale. |
