Ford ExpeditionTrue expeditions require additional transportation conveyances: horses, boats, cars, for example. With a towing capacity around 9,000 pounds, the Ford Expedition can tow any of these. Ford adds a new top end King Ranch model for 2008, as well as an available rear backup camera and power-retractable running boards. The Expedition is meant for utility, not posing.

My expedition rumbles
I have a rumbling noise in the left front wheel area, I replaced the hub bearing which was a costly mistake, that wasn't the problem. can the axle be replaced or does anybody have any suggestions. it is the classic wheel bearing type rumble but doesn't change sound when turning as a wheel bearing usually does.
You have the same problem I'm experiancing with my 98 explorer I changed the front hub bearing three times now and the last time the sound { a whirring noise that goes faster as you increase speed } persists. I think it has something to do with the CV where it attaches to the differential. I'm waiting to see if anyone answers your question because it is similar to my problem.
Safety Man. Here is an off the wall idea. This happened to me in my 2000 Expedition last year. I was having the same thing going on. I went to replace the front bearing assembly, but it looked clean (as in previous owner having changed it) so i left it due to the price of the darn thing. I rotated my tires from front to rear. That fixed teh noise, on the front anyway, but now, the noise went to the back. What happened was on my Goodyear Wranglers, some of the internal belts/plies had separated. Two new tires and the noise was gone.
If you have new tires, less than 8 months old, completely forget all this. However, if you are like me and had tires that are older, this may be a cause of the noise. However, I cannot tell you how to check the tires for this type of failure? It took a Tire Tech at a tire shop to tell me. Luckily, he was right.
