2004 Ford, Explorer, A humming or winding sound?
I'm thinking it's the front drive shaft (propeller cv joint ), because I feel it under my seat but, the boot is not torn. My question is, just how much turn play should there be? I can get an 1/8 or more either way I turn. It's not wiggly up and down or side to side, it's just the turning before the wheel itself turns.
Added (1). It does kind of clunk (lop sided spinning) upon acceleration.
The humming sound would indicate worn front wheel bearings.
These can't be greased, and have to be replaced as a hub assembly, or a new bearing pressed in.
Cars of this age would normally need wheel bearings replaced for a quieter ride.
At the same time, the drive shafts may also need to be replaced as the clunking sound suggests.
- Humming Noise coming from under the hood. Any ideas? I have a 2008 Ford Fusion SE 4 Cylinder with 78,000 miles on it. When I accelerate I hear a humming noise coming from the front. The higher the RPM's the louder it gets. The sound begins after 1000 RPM's. I sat it and parked it and put my foot on the gas pedal and went up to 4,000 RPMS and it sounded like a siren you would hear in the movies for like code red or something I don't know. I have no idea what it may be. Answers would be very much appropriated.
- 2004-2008 Ford F150 vs 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500? I have been wanting to know which of these two trucks should I get? I watch videos on them but as I read the comments the controversy between the people are just left and right, "dodge is better, ford is better" but they never give an explanation why. So which truck is more reliable and why?
- What number is the fuse for the dash light in a 2004 ford explorer? I have the owners manual I just don't know what the number is for the fuse, or what the description would be?
- I have a 2002 ford explorer 4.0 sohc won't crank turn key and it doesn't make a sound? I have a 2002 ford explorer 4.0 sohc won't crank turn key and it doesn't make a sound. Lights, windows, blower motor, mirrors, radio all work. Wipers won't come on. I have put new battery, new starter, new solenoid. Still nothing
