I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4 4.0L engine with 178,265 miles on it. Recently, I have noticed a clicking in the rear wheels when accelerating between 5 and 15 mph. I don't notice it at other speeds. We purchased the vehicle from a Ford dealer with about 10,000 less miles on it and all service up to date. This is our main vehicle and am concerned that it could be something serious and that we shouldn't be driving it. Thanks for your help

Yes, the clicking gets faster as the speed increases. It almost sounds like a rock in the hubcap, but that's not the cause. Once it gets past 15mph, the clicking seems to disappear.
