Unhappy Trying to learn something about my 99 Explorer

I may not be smart enough to even use this site. I'm suppose to intrioduce myself somewhere on this page but can't even figure that out. I just paid my vehicle off and same day spent $700 on it and still makes a bad noise. I'm a 63 yr old woman & hoping to get smarter on this site about how to not get taken
on repairs.

My 1999 Ford Explorer with 80,000 just had rear bearing replaced, I'm told a real deal at $738 now it still has a roar when I let off the gas. Was told this could be my transmission. Are these common things to go wrong with all vehicles or just Ford explorers. Sorry to sound so dumb, I never had to take care of these matters before. I thought things like that lasted almost forever.
