I'm looking into buying an early ('91-'94) Explorer Sport. Can anyone tell
me what I should look for when looking at these? IS there any problem areas?
If any one on the list has one of these I'd like to know a little more about
them like what came on them, how yours runs, its reliability, gas mileage,
etc...
I was looking at a Bronco II but I like the 2-door Explorer sports a lot
more. I'm not really thinking about lifting it since I don't go 4-wheeling a
lot but I definately want a 4WD model. What performance/Interior/Body
Upgrades are out there for these explorers and where can I find more
information on the Explorer Sport(web pages, etc...) . Thanks a lot.

Don't have a body lift myself, but, there's basically the spacers (usually 1
to 3 inches in height) which take the place of your factory body mounts.
Then there's the bolts that hold those in place. There may be brackets to
raise the bumpers up as well, or, you may have to fabricate your own. The
radiator shroud may have to be modified and the pattern that the air takes
over your motor (from the fan) will probably change. If you have a manual
tranny, your stick shift will probably need to be lengthened. I've also
heard that at some point after installing a body lift, you'll have some more
squeaks to listen to. "Lift Lips," those plastic sheets that cover the open
spaces in your wheel wells after lifting the body, cost extra...
Like I said, I don't have a body lift myself (on my Ranger), so these things
are just what I've heard.

Ron,

I've got a 93 with 110k and have owned is since new. I had an intermittent
noise at less that 30k miles that the dealers (plural) couldn't find. It was
more prevalent turning corners and changing inclines (entering driveways).
At 36K+ the front wheel bearings blew out. The dealer was able to find the
problem then and replaced the bearings/race and spindle. At 40k the other
side went out. At 75k I replaced both sides. Just recently one side was
making noise so a new set made that go away. Not saying what you have is the
same, but some things you say are familiar. "Only happens when the vehicle
is moving," "starts after sharp turns." Might be something to have checked
out.

Now that I remember back to 40k. I was driving at highway speeds and the
wheel locked up as a result of the rollers breaking up. I pull over and
could not move the vehicle forward. After several backward and forward tries
I was able to drive home (5 miles).

Good Luck,

Exploder not best,
in the Upper Midwest

In my local Yellow Pages, under Springs - Auto, Sales & Service, there are several spring shops listed. Most can fix your problem.
Good Luck.
