04 EB 4x4 - Front End Noise Noticeable Above 50 mph
Sorry for the delay... Was too busy on my one week lay off between working on the basement and the Expedition to respond. I swapped out the front rotors and pads (sprung for the ceramics to see if I can get rid of some of the brake dust I get) to see if I could get rid of the brake pulsation...- onetirefire

One last troubleshooting step last night for the front axle. Removed a bolt between the axle flange and the half shaft flange and zip tied it to the A-arm below to ensure it was not rotating as well as zip tied the front driveshaft again. Still the same noise. I have definitely ruled out any...- onetirefire

I rotated the tires just a few weeks ago with no change. Do you think tire noises would vary with a slight steering input? i.e. not changing lanes, but just moving the steering wheel barely enough to start moving over in the same lane. Any feedback on the CV motion with the driveshaft...- onetirefire

Don't have any cash to burn.... laid off next week, but should give me time to hopefully get this resolved though With (3) 75 lb tie straps between the u-joint at the front diff and the sway bar (pretty convenient location actually) I was able to stop the front driveshaft from spinning while...- onetirefire

Hey guys thanks for the replies. Still searching and trying to troubleshoot before tearing into the front axle. I read on another forum a guy had a similar issue on an '05 expedition, did all the same trouble shooting including removing the front half shafts and drive shaft....It didn't go...- onetirefire

Well, My dad was in town this weekend so we did a little trouble shooting. - Got under the truck, The passenger side axle seal is leaking (has been for a while but doesn't drip) - The pinion seal is leaking as well, I am wondering if this has to do with the synthetic oil I put in at the last...- onetirefire

Sorry. Missed that detail. It is a constant noise. I would say it is a little higher pitch than the tire noise at this speed as well. Any comments on if removing driveshaft will help isolate noise? Will removing the drive shaft stop the front axle internals from spinning?? I don't think it...- onetirefire

Also, Is there any ideas on how I could set it up so I could drive it with the front axle out while I am repairing it? Thanks.- onetirefire
