2004 Mercury Mountaineer 4.0 FLEX. I noticed about two weeks ago that when coasting at lower speeds, say 30-45 mph, I hear a clicking noise. It's not super loud. It just goes click click click click and as I come to a slower and slower speed, it disappears.
I had my son hang his head out the window and he says it's coming from the front passenger side. Now, when this started, just a few days ago I had the wheel and front suspension off in parts while changing out my upper control arms and I didn't notice any ripping of the CV boots or anything like that. Lower ball joints look good. No ripping on the boots.
Now, I want to say, but not for sure that I heard this same clicking sound from the left side, but cannot anymore. That is because yesterday i replaced the driver's side front wheel hub because I was getting a growling noise from that side when making turns.
So what are the possibilities? I originally posted this in the 2011-2016 forum, but wasn't paying attention that it was for them, not mine. (I had done a search looking for this)
