Left front end

[Dworm]

When making a right turn noise or creeping comes from the left front side of the car. Can anyone help or had this similar problem?

Wow. That's a lot of info to go on. I'm sure a lot of people have had this problem in every wheeled vehicle ever known to mankind.

 

Anyways, a little help here. In this case, what year, how many miles, how much or little service has it ever gotten? If it's in warranty, have you bothered going to the dealer yet?

 

Could be wheel bearing or CV joint.

Sorry for lack of info. 2007 fusion with 90,000 miles. Not in warranty but some service. Still searching for answers to the problem before taking it to a dealer. I didn't see any visual problems but can hear the grinding noise while driving. It real noticeable when making that right turn with no noise when turning left. Could this be coming from the shock or the wheel bearing?

With that many miles, my first guess would be a CV joint. Maybe a bearing. Squaking in one direction only may point more to a bearing, though. I don't see how a shock could make a squeaking noise, but that's the fun of internet troubleshooting, I haven't heard the noise. If you could get under the car with a flashlight, you could maybe see if a CV boot is torn. I'm not sure if both ends (or either, for that matter) of the driveshafts are visible from under the hood. If the boot's been torn open for a while, that would be pretty bad for the CV joint. Someone's just going to have to take it apart and see.

Any luck yet, Dworm?
