mtthrrn Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 So I am at a loss as to what the issue could be with my 2013 Ford Fusion SE. The car feels "loose" on uneven roads, it wants to be all over the place. When I hit bumps in the road the back end feels loose (bounces to the side) and occasionally when I slow down on smooth roads I can hear a "whom whom whom whom" when slowing down, sounds like it is coming from the rear passenger side of the car. Please help, if I just knew what it could be I could take that info to the dealership to be checked and covered under warranty. In the past, if I don't know what the issue is they won't dig to find it. Thanks all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propwash Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Have you checked your tire pressures? If they are severely over inflated, it can make the car seem to hop around over small pavement imperfections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 A bad alignment can cause that. Could it be you hit a large pothole/curb or something that knocked the toe out and maybe also damaged the bearing, causing the noise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtthrrn Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks for the replies!! Tire pressure is good, all tires sit at 32 psi and I check them about once a month. Bad alignment is definitely a possibility. I had too many people in my car one night and hit a spot in the road where they ran a grate, post paving, but did a bad job filling asphalt back in and it bottomed out my back shocks. Would a bearing make a "whom whom" grinding like noise and also contribute to the instability when hitting rough pavement? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
