BlindBat Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Recently our 2008 AWD Edge with 85000 km on it has started making an unusual sound while driving. It's only heard while in motion and to describe it would be to say it sounds like the sound you would get on dry pavement if you had just put on new tires. I do have four newer Michelin Truck Tires on it but the sound is new. It's a steady sound and although not a grinding sound it's more of a constant hum. It slows as the vehicle does and increases as the vehicle does. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 See if you have anything stuck in the tread. If not my guess would be a bad wheel bearing or bad tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonEdge Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm not sure how many miles you have but it could be a wheels bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Is it louder when turning left, or when turning right? That would indicate a bad bearing on the opposite side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindBat Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Took it to the Ford Dealer today. Service rep went for a drive with me on the highway. Sounds like the driver front wheel bearing. Car goes in tomorrow for repair. I ll let you know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindBat Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 So....it turned out to be a right front wheel bearing. Of course they found I needed a left front tie rod end and front sway bars as well. All fixed. $900.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
