Hows it going everyone! Ive been fighting my SHO recently and figured I should reach out to the smartest guys I know for some opinions... because the dealership is useless. It feels like the right front wheel hub assembly is going out. I hear a lot of road noise that i can feel through the gas pedal. Left turns make a good amount of noise, ect. But everything is tight and i don't feel any knocking when i swerve left and right....
Back story:
Brakes were going out, hearing some right front noise, so i replaced the brakes. (EBC Premium Rotors with Red Stuff pads)
Brakes replaces, not much help on noise, didn't expect it to. Noticed the passenger side inside pad was warn on an angle.
Discovered a knock when turning the wheel past center.
Took to dealership and they replaced the sway bar (passenger side)
I asked about the grinding noise i was feeling. They said the bearing was fine and OEM brakes would fix it and if it didn't they would look further...
I get home, knocking noise still there, researched it was a bad strut mount assembly. so I replaced the strut mount by myself...
Drove it around the block, didn't feel too bad in regards to road noise/grinding noise or feel
5 days later... i'm feeling that grinding and hearing noise a LOT more that before. As i stated, i gets a lot louder when i turn left.
I'm sort of pulling out my hair, tonight I plan on jacking it back up and spinning the wheel to see what i can hear or feel. Because it feels tight, no wheel wobbling. But the amount of noise i hear and can grinding i can feel in the pedal... is not right. Brakes feel fine, car stops as it should.
I checked the brake pads/discs this morning and nothing is pitted or messed on on the rotor. I've heard ford has issues with their calipers locking up after so long... but never experienced it personally.
Thanks in advance everyone!!!!
