2005 Ford expedition limited sport trac rear passenger weird noises

[19ninety15expo]

Hello Expo ppl
My ford expedition just started making weird clunking / grinding/ metal popping noises from the passenger side rear wheel area. It's not a steady noise it comes and goes. But when the sound does occur its loud to the point everyone looks at my truck like wtf. I took the wheel off and everything seems to be intact. No play on the rotor and the brake caliper seems fine. Ive read it could be lower control arm/ bushings heat sheild on top of the drive shaft or rear diff. If it is the rear diff i have a 2003 pos xlt 4.6 that i can pull and use it on my 2005 5.4 if thats possible .. All and any insight is appreciated.

Your going to have to rack it up, and dig a little deeper. A rear control arm, like a front will clunk Everytime, not just sometimes.shake down everything in that corner, shock/strut, rock around the axle, brake caliper. You might want to pull the r/rear brake assembly apart. The small emergency brake shoes fall apart, and cause noise.

I have a really loud clamoring noise from the back of my vehicle sounds like my exhaust is slapping the frame but it's kind of scary because it's so loud and I think it might be something big is there any way that anybody can help me tell me what it is please. I'm a disabled veteran, and I need my vehicle if I lose it I could pass away in the process of trying to find a new one and I don't have any money saved up I just got this vehicle after a crash surprisingly enough I had $3200 saved in my bank then, and now I don't have any money at all because it's immediately after I spent it on this vehicle, and this is the end of my life if anything bad happens, I can't walk and I have no liver. And I only make $800 a month. And I had no friends or family. Please comment with your ideas on what the loud clamoring noise in the back of the vehicle is. Almost sounds a Powerball hamster wheel with odd metal parts inside of the powerballs, like two powerballs.
