Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / May 2005loud front end on 96 explorer
My wife has a 96 explorer that is loud in the front end. I lifted it up and can find nothing wrong. both wheel bearings seem fine no noise from the front diff. I then checked the rear and there is play but not excessive. The noise goes away on bumps and left turns? Any ideas on where to look? thanks Jimmy > My wife has a 96 explorer that is loud in the front end.

Just keep driving on bumpy roads and keep turning to the left. That should eliminate the problem. that goes along with if it hurts when you breath stop breathing > > My wife has a 96 explorer that is loud in the front end.

I lifted it up and can find nothing wrong. both wheel bearings seem fine no noise from the front diff. I then checked the rear and there is play but not excessive. The noise goes away on bumps and left turns. Any ideas on where to look? thanks Jimmy ..................... Jimmy, Be a little more descriptive in the what the noise actually sounds like. "loud" ....leaves it open to a long thread full of a lot of different guesses. When the noise goes away was good.....but not quite enough. Scrib Abell there are two aproaches to take when giving a customer an "Estimate On Repairs".......................................... know that you know, that you know what the fix is......and tell him from experience what the "add ons" maybe....... or............. LIE....... the noise sounds like a bearing going. I lifted the front end and checked both wheel bearings for noise and play and there was none. I also though power steering and shut the engine off and the noise remained the same? Jimmy > My wife has a 96 explorer that is loud in the front end.

Dave I was suspicious of your left wheel bearing when you said it went away on left turns. It could also be a noisy tire (cupped I mean, and different from the other 3). But if weight transfer from curves changes it as the weight shifts from side to side, it's probably the wheel bearing. > the noise sounds like a bearing going.
