Good news and bad news...
First the good... the problem wasn't the front end... just FELT like it... anyways it was the rear driver's side wheel... only cost 15 bucks in parts and about 3 hours worth of work... :-D
Now the bad... since I bought lugs slightly wider than the original ones, you can't take the 4x4 cap off without taking them off. So here's what happened: apparantly someone felt the need to STEAL mine off my explorer. Of course, they didnt put the lugs back on properly... actually barely on at all... which caused the wheel to "wobble" and actually TORE off 2 Lug studs - leaving 3 VERY loose lugnuts to hold my wheel in place... so now I went out and purchased lug locks to prevent this from happening again. And also I have my work's security checking video cams for someone taking it off my car so I can notify the police. Cheap, quick fix but coulda been a LOT worse had I not glanced at the rear wheel. Thanks guys.
