Scotty, watch ur show often.
I have a 2008 Ford Edge base model with v6 and automatic. It has 99,890 miles on it. I live in Alabama. So it doesnt see harsh winters even though it stays outside. No garage or carport. It has been the best car I've ever owned, however it has developed an unusual roar in the front end. The noise (roar) manifests when u turn even the slightest to the left of center. It gets louder the further left u turn the wheel, but its not so loud that it cant be ignored with music playing. It disappears when returned to center and makes no such noise when turning to the right.
Front bearings, left and right, have been replaced to no effect. Other than the noise, I can find no detrimental effects, but there must be something, right? Very odd situation: hopefully a clue? After living with noise for months (having changed out bearings), my dash light for low tire came on. Left front was at about 25psi. Right front low too, but not nearly so bad. Inflated all tires to 35psi per door sticker. NOISE WENT AWAY! Alas, it returned later in the day. I can think of no logical reason that might affect it, but maybe u can?
Car has run like a champ for 14 yrs.
Anyway, is there anything u can think of that this might be?
How old are your tires? My girlfriend had a similar problem with her 2017 Mustang last year. It would roar in the rear end driving down the highway, like a wheel bearing. The right rear tire blew in a pothole a few years ago and I thought it was related to that, but in the off chance it was worn out tires (she had 70k on them), we replaced those first. The noise was immediately gone.
rotate wheels and see if noise changes
