Problem overview

Some Ford Expedition owners report experiencing noise issues from the driver side front end, which may be linked to a front transaxle rebuild. These owners have noted a loud hum and vibration that could stem from worn front end parts or misaligned components. Additionally, some report rattling sounds during acceleration, potentially indicating problems with CV joints or drive shafts. Knocking or clunking noises, especially when encountering bumps, may suggest issues with control arms, tire rods, or sway bar links. Furthermore, a loss of vacuum in the front hubs has been reported, leading to noisy rubbing and potential damage to components like CV splines and hubs. It is crucial for owners to seek a thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and address these concerns.
