Ball joints, engine mounts, tranny mounts, brake calipers, bearings, loose wheel lug nuts, suspension bushings, shock eye bushings, check them all.

You may need new shocks anyway if you did not replace the factory stock ones yet.

An alignment shop may help you with the front suspension parts and an alignment too. I Stress AN ALIGNMENT SHOP that only does this kind of work.

I had an explorer. Ball joints are a common problem. Also if somthing is leaking in the back chances are its the rear end.

Ford explorer 2002

There is nothing leaking...that was a rear pinion seal that was fixed a few months ago...the problem now is with a clunking or thumping in the front and it sounds like its right under the drivers floorboard...

Has anyone heard of an inducer(sp) on a Ford Explorer? If so what is it? Someone mentioned that to me today about the thumping noise under the drivers side floorboard.
