HI,
Ford Focus 2013, 59,000 miles second set of tires. Cooper CS5 ULTRA tires at 34,000 miles...
issue. slowly but surely developed after a good 10,000 miles or so on these tires a "bearing noise". Bearing noise starts at 35mph and on. right turns, left turns, straight, coasting etc.....some sort of front bearing noise. never goes away. you don't feel it in the steering wheel.
rotating tires does not help. tire inspection shows just a slight cupping on inside of all 4 tires..slightly.
The car has had the clutch transmission shutter worked on 2 times. Clutches replaced, etc.
Still, I hear a "bearing noise". Almost convinced its a bearing or CV Axle noise. no Clicking.
a "bearing Noise".
I also have a newer Ford Fusion with 3000 miles on it. Michelin X Energy tires. A very quiet car.
I have switched the Cooper and Michelin tires between the two cars, Fusion and Focus. Expecting the "bearing Noise" to follow the Cooper tires, if its the Coopers. WRONG!
The Coopers on the Fusion are quiet. The Michelin's on the Focus are quiet. no bearing noise!
Gees. The Michelins are a slightly bigger and wider tire compared to the Coopers. Just, the noise did not follow.....
and both cars are not having the bearing noise....driving from 30mph up to 60mph. Geometry changes a little (camber\caster?) with different tires....
as of now, tires are back on the the perspective cars....
Bearing noise on the Focus.
any idea as to?
@bootstrap
can you upload a video of the issue?
To pinpoint the sound do my video finding the source of car noises Scotty
I seem to have a similar issue. I have a 2014 Ford Focus SE and have noticed a driver side almost 'bearing like' noise happening. However, I can hear it all the time while driving instead of your specific mph speed. When I apply the brakes the rattling stops. Ill give the video a watch, but I'm still unsure of the issue as all joints are fine and the latter.
