I have 2 problems here. Don't know if they are connected.
1. I have a noise when I turn the steering to the right. It's like something
needs to be lubricated and I can feel it through the steering wheel.

Purchased a used 98 2wd 2dr 6 cyl SOHC Ford Explorer at 93K miles. It's at
96K now and am thinking about the oil change. Any comments from those with
experience is appreciated. I purchased the vehicle from the dealer and quite

I was looking at the interior of the Mazda truck and it looked amazingly
like the interior of my 1996 explorer.  Why the big similarity?

My check engine light is on. There is a " knocking"sound coming from the
engine. The engine shakes a little. I thought it was the spark plugs, but
i disconected one at a time and started the truck. It didnt go away. I

I am hearing that the 2006's will be different from the 2005s... more than a
yearly change but less than 2001 to 2002 difference.  Any truth in this?  I
