ndw0002 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 They seem to have fixed the problem with my car. Changed both cotrol arms on the front driver side of my car. Parts and labor @ Ford was approx $642.00. My car is a 2011 Fusion SE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowar Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Working on a similar issue with our 2010, had a rattle/clunk start up after a trip downstate, probably a pothole jarred it a little, but found this underneath. Will be replacing the LCA on the passenger side. Is this replacement as straightforward as it looks? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowar Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Well, I read the lowering hte subframe posts, and have decided to have this done in town. Can't chance the issue happening I guess, would turn a straightforward job into a nightmare for us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Nobody Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi, I bumped into this thread while searching. I have this 2010 Mercury Milan premier AWD at 64000 miles. A couple of weeks ago, I heard this metal grinding noise when I'm making a big right turn or U turn right at low speed, especially in a parking garage. It happened occassionally and I tried to pin point it to see if it's my CV. Anyway, I noticed that my front left rotor had worn/scraping marks at the very edge of the surface, looks like sth is grinding that part particular. Ready to replace the rotor and pads, but new problem came. The metal grding sound while turning went away, but I started to hear a faint knocking/popping sound from the front, it's definitely not the same left position I heard the metal grinding noise. This time the sound came from more centered location in the front. The faint knocking/rattling sound seems to be at higher frequency as the speed goes up (hear it from say 20-30mph and up). And it doesn't seem to relate to going over a bump or turning, basically I can hear the sound even driving on the flat road in straight.Also, the sound seems more obvious when braking too, but definitely is there without hitting the brake.Went to costco to check my four tires, pressure all normal and did not find any obvious nails, but they did not jack it up or really carefully check. So what could be the reason? Would it be the worn rotor and pads? I did not hear any metal squeaking sound while braking nor any pulsation. Car does not pull to any direction. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltbjh Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Good Day. New 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid Owner. Traded in F150 XLT SuperCap Shortbed. One month after owning the car it sounds like I have a front passenger tire going flat. I checked air pressure and all is good. The noise is a muted whoop or thump that gets louder with speed. There is no other noise when turning or braking. I think I remember a similar noise about 15 years ago in a Toyota Celica with the CV Joint having to be replaced. Does this sound like the same issues being discussed in this thread? Thank you, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend bringing this to the attention of your dealership. If possible, take your tech along for a test drive so you can replicate what you're experiencing. If you'd like, I can loop in your regional customer service manager as well. To make that happen, PM me your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealership. Leave the rest to me. Crystal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21152Hybrid Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) @FordService Love my 2011 Fusion! Hate the front end noises it makes! One question - Is this noise dangerous not to fix? i.e. > can I just turn the radio up and ignore? Totally terrifying... since it literally sounds like I'm in the hull of a boat - and the front end could fall off at any moment! signed, notacarguy Edited July 22, 2017 by 21152Hybrid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyross Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Which noises are you talking about? I am having an issue with a slight clunking noise, mainly noticeable just when stopping or starting, or moving slow over slight ripples. I think it's a 'sticky' bushing in the suspension. There is a thread about creaking bushings, and I am hoping it's related. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
