My 2002 Ford Explorer is experiencing a vibration that feels like a grinding in both the steering wheel and in the gas/brake pedal. This grinding goes away if I'm driving over 60 mph. If I slow to under 60 mph the grinding comes back. I have a known issue with my fuel pump starting to fail, I don't think this grinding/vibration relates. Other than the grinding the only other symptom is an ABS light that will light up and turn off randomly. Does this grinding and vibration relate to my ABS system? 2002 Ford Explorer 4x4 Limited, 4.6 V8, just over 170000 miles with an automatic transmission.
You have wheel bearings failing
the random abs light is the rotor for the sensor touching the sensor head because the wheels are loose on the shaft

Today and over the weekend .I too had the same problem. Took it to the dealer and they tested everything and could not find the problem. Did vac test on the lines, Test drove it with code tester to see if there was any problems . Checked the hubs... They replaced the IWE solenold. Just hope that is the fix and it didn;t damage anything else... Thanks for the above info!
