Hello All
Wandering if anyone has some advice. Every now and then ( Maybe a couple times a week ) I get a bad vibration that feels like its coming from the front left hand side of the car. Could this be the wheel bearings ? If so does anyone know of a good place to buy them, Ford want $165 each. Thanks in advance PS. I know this is posted in the wrong section, but it seems if you want a quick reply, the pub section is the best way to go |

Hi ford.
When does this happen ...... When turning ? Or just on a straight, relatively smooth road ? Cheers. |

Happens on a straight relatively smooth road - only does it for a second or two. I should have also said I did notice a not quite a grinding or rubbing noise more like a Whirring noise when turning Right at a very slow speed - in a car park |

Hi ford.
Just a couple of easy checks. 1. Make sure all lug nuts are done up close to spec, especially alloys. You may need a torque wrench. 21mm socket, I think. 2. Use wheel changing jack, get wheel off the ground. DO NOT GET UNDER THE CAR with just this. 3. Grab wheel at 12 & 6 o'clock. Rock back and forth. Any movement could be wheel bearing. 4. Grab wheel at 9 and 3, and rock. Any movement could be Tie Rod End. 5. The 'whirring' is interesting. Check PS fluid level. Cheers. |
