I know I have started a thread about this subject some time back but the noise has not gone away and I know if anyone can help me figure out what the problem is, it will be you all here.
The problem I am having is there is some sort of noise/vibration in the left front wheel area, sounds kind of like something is binding up. I know for fact it is coming from the front end. I have already changed my shocks, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links but that has not done anything to help get rid of the noise. The noise/vibration just keeps getting worse. I notice it usually when I'm driving about 45 mph and below but that's not to say it doesn't happen at other times just don't really notice it going 75 mph down the interstate. It also happens when I'm braking and just about to come to a stop. It also happens on bumpy roads, semi-bumpy roads, and flat roads. I have checked the calipers on several occasions and it is not coming from them. Anyone got any ideas as to what it might be (bearings?, tie rod? torsion bar adjuster? the fact it's a ford?)? I've taken it to the ford dealer on a few occasions and they can hear/feel what I'm talking about but have no clue what it might be. Someone plese help me figure out and prove to my wife that I do not have OCD regarding this situation.
