The tire is wearing unevenly due to a tire defect...out of round, or belt seperation...the wear is also caused by alignment problems...get a free alignment check at your favorite Tire Barn...If you replace any tires, be sure to have the alignment checked, or the uneven wear will return quickly. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: tire wear on 1996 ford explorer xlt awd

The tire itself does not have the proper inflation pressure for the vehicle. The tire has a MAXIMUM pressure on it. The proper pressure is on a sticker or tag, probably on the door jamb inside the driver's door. You might also find the tag inside the glove compartment or in the engine compartment near the emissions sticker.

Sounds like you have some bad bushings, ball joints, or bearings. Take it into the repair shop unless you have the special tools to repair a Jag front suspension. The parts falling off my Jag are of the finest British make!!

You most likely have an alignment problem. If BOTH FRONT TIRES are worn the same ( inside edge worn ), that would indicate a TOE- OUT problem such as ( \ / ) . Picture those 2 lines as your front tires going down the road . Hope this helps.

2006 ford explorer has a noise that you would swear it was a L/F wheel brg changed it and noise still the same took the old L/F brg and put it on the R/F still same noise??? any thoughts???

When checking to make sure noise is wheel bearings while driving vehicle at speed the noise is loudest (if possible) turn steering wheel back and forth enough to shift the weight of the vehicle from side to side and if it's a wheel bearing there should be quite a bit of difference in the noise.

If about the same noise check the wear pattern on the tires for flat spots or unusual wear pattern if there is rotate tires. If nothing still found jack up vehicle with all 4 tires of the ground. Use jack stands for this. Get some one in vehicle to run it at speed the noise develops, I use a long screw driver (2 feet long) as a stethoscope to find where noises come from. Try with and without 4 wheel drive if possible. Good luck cause noises can be a real pain in the b____.

2001 Passat front drive, rotated tires and the left rear that was moved to the left front is making a flap flap noise. Pulled it off and it is scalloped around the inside edge of the tire. Have been...

I would have the 4 wheels alignment checked, if the rear is out it can be aligned by shims. any reputable alignment shop will know how to perform this. as far as the noisy tire goes it will need to be replaced to stop the noise. If the alignment is ok than the tire may have a broken belt internally which caused it to wear uneven

I have a creaking noise coming from the front driver side when making turns at low speed. Also, the front driver side tire is wearing off on the inside. Kim

the tie road end + rack end is the main proplem for making your tire wearing off
the noisy at slow speed coming from tire
you can check that by make the tire free by putting the car on the lift then you catch the tire from side and try to move it (in-out) if its move that mean you need to change even tie road end or rack end or both

1994 corvette makes sqeaking noise

this noise (based on my own Corvette doing the same thing) is that it is the sway bar rubber bushings making the noise, remove them and apply white grease to the inside of the rubber bushing, then retest, it fixed mine (1996)

I hear a sound like the fan belt sqeaking, I know there is only one belt and that belt is still on . first it made a sound like a tire was leaking air then i heard the sqeaking under the hood

belts can still sqeak even though they are still on, check the condition of the belt, is it craked?, glazed? spray some silicon spray on it while its running and see if it goes away. the belt driven accesories can also make noise, alternator, steering pump, water pump, idler, tensioner, a/c compressor. use a long screwdriver like a stethescope and see if one belt driven acessory makes more noise than the others, just be careful of moving parts.

Wheel Bearings??

hard to. Tires also can cause the same noise if they have diagonal tread wear. check them first. run hand around tread in one direction then the other. If rough in one direction, suspect tires for noise.

Driving down road there is a roaring sound even when you slow down. Appears to be tire noise. Tires are wearing out on the inside. When you hit a bump there is a clunking sound underneath.

Sounds like you have some bad bushings, ball joints, or bearings. Take it into the repair shop unless you have the special tools to repair a Jag front suspension. The parts falling off my Jag are of the finest British make!!
