    "Whirring" noise

    Fixed! Since it's a slow Saturday (not hauling kids everywhere) I figured what the heck, I'll put the apparently good left wheel bearing on the right side. I had ordered an extra seal when I ordered the replacement so I swapped them. No more noise or vibration. The bad bearing (right side)...

    "Whirring" noise

    Ok, first post on this forum. I've searched and searched, read about the whirring noise, IWE, brakes, front diff bearings, steering shaft, etc. I could almost point to any one of them at this point. Looking for some thoughts on how to narrow this down. 2016 Expedition EL 4x4. 80K miles...
