so everyone must have heard the noise a LS-LT focus makes when the car gets started and moves over 20kmh (i think) right?
well ive noticed that when i am driving (for a while too) and take a corner at some speed, if i hit a bit of a bump...ill hear the same sound from the engine again.... this seems abit concerning as i thought this noise is the ABS initiallizing?? isnt it? anyone had the same noise?? Regards, anthony |

Describe the noise?
Mine makes a noise when i take corners at low speed occasionally, sounds like a grinding/almost a squeal noise |

It's the ESP, bumpy corners set it off.
It's just doing it's best to keep you safe |

That assumes you bought the Electronic Stability Control option on the car, otherwise it sounds expensive!

Mine was doing the same thing (+ squealing)before my tyres were due to be replaced... for some reason they got real slippery even though they still had tread. Might be something to look at
