I have an 02 4WD Explorer with about 115K miles on it. A noise from the rear end when the wheels are turning is getting louder and when climbing a parking ramp there is a lot of chatter from the front wheels. A new factory (not a rebuilt) transmission was installed in this vehicle about a year after I bought it.

Hello Customer (name blocked for privacy), does the noise change if you are cruising and you just barely get on the gas? Does it change turning slightly at cruise? And does it seem to "bind" up around tight corners? Steve

I Hope to answer all of your questions if you are fully satisfied then I have done my job. An accept would make my day.

Reply to Steve Sholar's Post: Steve,
Yes it does all of the above. There is a roaring sound almost like a prop plane engine coming from the rear like maybe bad bearings. From a dead start on inclines or when turning to park it feels like it is binding. Ford axed the dealer nearest me so I was at a loss on where to take it. I found a shop not too far away with high ratings among customers and editorial of the local website host so I am giving them a shot. Thanks.
