98 Explorer Help
We have a 98 Explorer with a 5.0 engine and there's a tick, but only when it's accelerating. Any suggestions as to what it might be? Also, the ABS light is on but we don't know why. There's a bit of a grinding noise in the front driver's side wheel, would that have anything to do with it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The grinding noise could be the wheel bearings in that hub. If its a 4WD the hub and bearings are easy to change and the ABS sensor for that wheel will be included with the hub. Check Auto Zone or Advance auto Parts' web site for pics.

I have that tick sound...... been leaking from both exhaust manifolds for 3 years now... haven't fixed it, just been living with it 
As for the grinding noise, had that exact same problem with both front wheels. Replaced the wheel bearing (which has the ABS sensor in it) and ABS lite went out and grinding noise went completely away.
