I have a 97 Mountaineer with the 5.0 motor and AWD. I have noticed a grinding noise coming from the front of the truck when I turn or brake at slow speeds (under 20mph). I was told that that's a common problem for a truck with 120,000 miles on it and that I should replace the front wheel bearings. Well.....I went out and spend $400 on two new bearing hub assemblys...didn't fix the problem. :fire: This noise is a horrible grinding noise, I'm affraid that if I don't fix it fast something is going to get seriously damaged.
The front brake pads have been on for a while, but still look great. Is it possible that the brake pads are making that noise? What else could it be? I can't think of anything else that would make that noise....only when I brake or turn at slow speeds. Could it have anything to do with the front differential? High speed turning and brakeing is quite.
HELP!!
