drolds1 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 You haven't given much information but I'd start with looking at the wheel bearing. Does the noise go away when you turn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_h Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 There was a thread on here several months ago where someone had the same complaint, someone (I think fusiondiffusion) posted link to a youtube clip, and the user with the problem replied that YES that was exactly what they were hearing. So I looked around in other threads and didn't see the link, but *think* that the below was the one that someone linked previously. If you view it and it sounds familiar, maybe you've found the issue. My 2010 had 3 problems total over the 145k miles that I had it -- left front bearing at 33k miles, O2 sensor at 67k miles, and right front bearing at 118k miles. So while maybe it's not a common thing, it sure was on my particular car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FusionDiffusion Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Which way were you turning when it made the noise? If you turn the opposite direction does it not make the noise or is it quieter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What drivetrain does your car have, i.e., automatic trans or manual, AWD? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drolds1 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Read my post again please. AWD or not? A malfunctioning PTU on AWDs has been known to make a growling sound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimtheRockstar Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Two weeks ago I had to take my to ford. It started with a simple quite squeak when it was cold (in the morning backing out of driveway, and then going forward) I let it go probably a month. Then it turned into a grinding....I knew it was a wheel bearing. Drivers front. Read online, this is a known issue, it happens 50-70k. ----If you are still reading just take it to Ford to get them to fix it. 362 bucks out the door. Don't let them tell you the parts are $200 for the bearing and $200 for the spindle. Call and get prices on the Wheel Bearing and the Spindle/Hub beforehand. Both should be around the $80 mark. (bearking was 74 and Spindle 86) from memory. Side note, this is a design flaw with for sure the Fusion. There is a single nut that holds the hub on. That had backed off maybe 1/4 turn, or 1 and 1/4 turns on mine.There is no cotter key, or retainer, they just tap and bend the end flare of the nut into a groove in the axel.----Don't do like me. I am a wrench turner and can do it...so I tired. Tried being key.It aint easy to do any of it. The two lower control arms were bears to get out....that was after I destroyed 2 hub pullers trying to get the spindle out. Course that destroyed the bearing. Shaft was rusted on to the spindle. MIND YOU I HAVE 57K on the car. (2010)Once that was pulled, it is a bear to even press in the bearing....even if you have a press.The Half Shaft is not long enought to slip it together enough to use the bolt to press it all together.In the end, I did it, got it back together and it was grinding more than when I started.....so just let ford do it.----If you got this far, then trust me, just don't try it....I am not amature. My shop has a 9,000 lift (just a private man cave), 20k lbs standing shop press...I can do anything...but after the first $80 spindle, and a $40 bearing (from autozone), 6 hrs the first day, and then another 4 to get it together, all for failure....just pay someone.-----If you must know, there was no easy way to get any of it apart. Bearing was a bear, even with another bearing rease I had laying around.Hardest part was re-assembly, axle to...well all of it. I spent ove ran hour with a bottle jack and chain, trying to get the lower control arms in those holes! The bolts are not long enough to just fit and then put on the nut. FML FORD.So I had to run a chain over the top of it, and under the ball jack, hold it all up there and "suck" it into the hole.....The entire design is total junk.-----Only problem after Ford fixed it, my MPG has gone from +41000 miles tracked, every fuel up, 33mpg average, to 28.8 on the last tank, and now ~25....Also Advance Track when I accelerate....it has a 60k drivetrain warranty? so I am taking it in next week.------Moral of the Story: JUST PAY FORD TO DO IT.....(even with the issues they seemed to cause) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
