Best Answer

In most cases one of the differential units will be naturally lubricated, but there are some medical conditions that may interfere with this natural lubrication and so require a little extra "greasing of the wheels." If the units are similar units then lubrication will likely be required. If differential units are joined at a non-standard junction lubrication will also probably be necessary.

Where is the rear speed sensor on a 2000 Ford Exped Eddie Bauer and is it easy to replace?

The speed sensor ring is in the differential case in front of the ring gear. To get to the unit you will need to remove the differential cover and drain the lube which requires replacement along with the cover gasket. Check to find out what lube you need to use and if synthetic is required. If you are not familiar with differential or transmission work you may want to get an estimate from a transmission shop or your mechanic.
