    front end noise when going straight

    Follow-up: We couldn't even get an appointment within 7 days anywhere within 2 hours of St. George/Vegas, etc., so we limped it on back to Colorado and the noise got steadily worse over time. We took it to the dealer and they commenced a long set of repairs that took almost 2 weeks, all covered...

    front end noise when going straight

    Too bad I already paid a pile for replacing the one bearing out of pocket, assuming warranty would not cover it after it didn't cover the brake rotors going at 20k miles. I think I've decided to just drive it home and deal with it there, buy myself whatever santo goes with bearings and CV joints...

    front end noise when going straight

    Oh, and yes, sound is the same in 4wd or 2wd. That was one of my initial thoughts with the noise is that it sounded like maybe it was stuck in 4wd. And now it sounds like maybe it's been partially engaging and damaging other stuff. Wonderful.

    front end noise when going straight

    Interesting. Thanks all for your advice. Should hub also be covered by warranty? What do folks think about driving on it to get it seen someplace else? The dealer here in St. George (700 miles from home) could not get me in to even look at it until a week from now, so I'm debating driving to...

    front end noise when going straight

    Hi folks -- I have a new issue with my 2018 Expedition Max -- a phantom noise coming from the front end. It started pretty faintly a month or two ago. We don't typically drive it very much, but it was basically a low rumbly gear sound from what sounded like the left front. We took it in a couple...

    Upgraded Brake Systems anyone?

    I think I'm IN on upgrading the brakes -- I got warped front rotors in less than 20k miles and it's gotten progressively worse... Question for y'all. Should I do both fronts and rears or just fronts? And what about the Power Stop z36 vs z23? z36 is nominally for towing. I tow a light trailer...

    Rotors at 23k miles?

    Thanks for the info and opinions, folks. Now that I think about it more, what's funny is that we first noticed an issue this summer while we were in Maine for the summer. I don't ride the brakes coming down hills -- I still remember the brake fluid overheating and bubbling over on my '83 Celica...

    Rotors at 23k miles?

    Started noticing some brake throbbing this summer at maybe 19k. At the time I assumed it’d just picked up some rust spots on the rotors from sitting without driving for a few weeks and it would go away. Instead it got gradually worse. I finally took it in now and they told me rotors have heat...
