Ford Explorer Differential Problem
Noises problem
2004 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 107000 miles
I have a 2004 ford explorer very well kept still runs smooth with 107,000 miles on it. I've been hearing like a light horn noise coming from the rear of the car when I hit 60 mph or above do you have any idea what this could be?

Have you checked the rear differential fluid? Also, does the sound change when you make turns?

Where would I find the differential? It doesn't make noise when I turn just when I hit 60 mph

The differential is located in the center of the axle.
