It could be your rear breaks / including the emergency breaks, or your rear differential
replace the rear breaks
Actually , the 1996 Ford Explorer has small emergency brake shoes inside the back of the disc brake rotors on the REAR brakes only
crossplys are only fitted on the rear on a dual system.
The larger rear tires get better traction in the mud and rough terrain. The front only needs to steer.
Yes you can, but the tire store will probably (and should) insist that they put the new tires on the rear of the car and move the rear tires to the front. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but believe me, if you get into a situation where you are turning and your tires slip, you want the front to break loose first. If that happens, the car will simply not turn and your reaction is to slow down. If the rear tires break loose first, you will spin out. Pro drivers know to turn the wheels in the opposite direction, hit the accelerator and get ready to compensate when the rear end whips around. The average driver will hit the breaks and spin out or overcompensate and whip around the other way. Bottom line, when getting only two new tires, put them on the rear regardless of whether it is a RWD or FWD.
Only on a front wheel drive vehicle. On a rear wheel drive the rear tires wear faster. rotate your tires every 10,000 miles and they will wear evenly.
I'm thinking about what you said, and I release probably you don't have emergency brake on, it could be something broken on the rear brake hardware, So you have to pull your tires off and check the brake springs and check emergency brake cables under the truck,
read the warranty and cover your rear end. wearable items such as brakes, tires, belts, hoses, and filters are almost NEVER covered.
Trade the rear tires to the front and the front tires to the rear. Every other time you do it, trade the right front tire to the left rear and right rear to left front
Did it shake before you had the tires put on? It sounds like your tires are out of balance. I had new tires put on and had to go back next day because of shaking at 60 mph. Come to find out the tire balancing was off.
All cars that I know of lock both wheels when the E-Brake is pressed
