Hey.
I have a Thai built Fiesta, late 2010. The car has developed some grinding noises that seem to be wheel related, possibly bearings. Anyone had this problem before? Cheers Junkie |

Try jacking the car up and spinning the wheels on each side by hand, by doing this, you should at least be able to determine which side the noise is coming from. I have had similar occur before and it turned out to be a piece of gravel caught between the rotor and the backing plate. It could also be brake pads, does it only happen when you brake or is it there all the time ?

Ive been something like this. been to ford 4 times so far. Going back tomorrow as i finally got the service guy to admit her could here something. before they just blamed tyres!
Is it when turning corners or going on straights? Get it to ford before your warranty is out!

Drive shafts?
Agree with Fiestaz. Get it to a dealer, get the problem on the books before the warranty expires. Even if it is not correctly diagnosed before expiration, the fact you have it on a dealers books strengthens your claim in any future dispute. |
