I recently posted about unusual noise on my ‘02 (Edge, 4.0, 4WD) that didn’t correlate well to speed or RPMs.
Finally I lost all power to the rear wheels yesterday. One rear wheel was leaning in slightly. Shifting into park made an exasperated rattling noise.
Got towed home, this is clearly the sign I have been looking for to call it a day with this thing, which is more rust than truck at this point.
What do folks think it sounds like happened? I was getting a very intermittent brief scrape sound the past week or two, which was becoming a more sustained scraping sound over the past few days. It was more pronounced at startup.
I really know very little about the rear end, I’ve been done most of my own work on the front end and under the hood. Just for curiosity’s sake at this point, I’m wondering what finally did it in.
