2003 Explorer issues
I have a 2003 Explorer 4.0l 4x4 auto. Yesterday day the passenger rear tire got a flat, so I put the full size spare on, and went about my business. About 2 miles up the road is a stop sign, so I start slowing down, and while slowing down I can hear a whining thumping sound from the front of the vehicle. It wasn't doing this before the flat, but right after I put the spare on it starts to do this. It only happens when slowing down, not under acceleration. Thanks for any ideas

The whining and thumping noise only happens when I coast to a stop. Im now thinking its the difference in tire size, since the spare has new tread, while the other 3 tires have about worn out tread. The more I think about it, the spare is whats causing this issue, since it started making the noises the second I put the spare tire on.
