Check your Serpentine Belt and pulleys. The Serpentine Belt maybe in need of replacement.
yes
it is burning rubber
is the humming coming from the front end of the vehicle? i have a 1996 explorer with the same issue. yes the noise come from the front but not all the time seems to make the humming noise when it gets hot
Humming noise on the front passenger side of a 1997 Ford Explorer XLT may be due to a bad tire. Try to jack up the tire and spin it by hand to see if the noise is there.
the noise coming from this truck is the uv goints
It's either the control arm bushings or the rubber mounts for the shocks.
It depends on when you hear the noise, but it likely a joint in the front wheel drive unit.
I had a 2000 Explorer with a grinding noise coming from the front . It my case, it was the axle bearing assembly on both sides. They are around 200 per side to purchase.
your front cv boot is tore. Replace this.
Front Rear End? Does that make sense? Front differential? maybe? Low fluid, wheel bearing, choppy worn tires?
Check the belts. The smell could be from a belt wearing out or from a pulley being stuck and the belt having to drag over it.
Worn Brake pads. ? needs to be more specific.
