Problem overview

Some Ford Explorer Sport owners report experiencing issues related to a clicking sound from the wheel bearing, which may manifest as grinding or humming noises while the vehicle is in motion. Additionally, some owners notice knocking or clunking sounds when cornering, along with shaking in the steering wheel and body vibrations. Uneven or abnormal tire wear can also be a concern, as well as play in the wheel that causes the vehicle to pull to one side when driving straight. To diagnose the problem, owners are advised to listen carefully to pinpoint the source of the noise and check the driver side wheel bearing, especially when turning left. Utilizing a scan tool for Ford-specific codes can help identify any ABS problems linked to wheel bearing or hub assembly damage. Addressing these symptoms promptly is crucial for maintaining a smooth and quiet ride.
