Do any of you know whats making the vibration & noise, my 2006 Explorer V8 LTD 4X4 is making a weird noise (vibration) & I think its the front drive shaft CV between the transfer case & the front differential........ this happens when I`m moving & at any speed, I have brand new tires.......TIA, Gerry

 

Anybody had trouble with the front drive shaft vibrating?????

 

I have the same issue with my 1999 Explorer. Did you ever figure out what was causing the noise?

 

No not yet, I was hoping Shorod or Derick would pop in, sorry

 

I watched a shop video of the cv being replaced. They said the complaint was a squeal at parking lot speeds. Not sure if this helps butthe repair seemed straight forward and only required a special tool to help tighten a hose clamp type band. If you have a helper you might be able to use vise grips since the clamp only holds the boot to the shaft, to keep dirt and water out. Not sure on price of new cv/rebuild kit.

 

Thx for the info Yorky, I'll check that out

 

here is a link to that video

 

Thats great Yorky, thx for the link

 

Yes as it happens it was the front drive shaft CV joint, when I pulled the front drive shaft out & road tested it, the ''vibe'' went away, thx for your help guys
