Hey guys....
The Svt is making some wierd nosies seems that theres a slight grinding coming from the wheel. which wheel yet... not too sure.
I've come to the conclusion its one of three things...
Wheel Bearings
Sticking caliper
Warped rotor.
Symptoms: low speed crusing. i feel a slight grinding in the wheel. and hear a rubbing noise coming from outside the car.... if i tap the brakes. the sound goes away for a few seconds then comes back... at highway speeds i dont really feel anything.
oh yeah, the wheel doesnt vibrate while braking so that may rule out warped rotor
brakes were changed 15k ago. and from what i can see the pads are fine.... and its also not a metal on metal type of grinding.
any ideas?
tonight i'm going to jack up the car when i get home from work and spin each of the wheels hopefully i can find the cause.

Could be a bearing but sounds like brakes rubbing really.

Steve, I know you said your gonna sell it @ 90,000km's. I just hope for you that it makes it that far. Damn, your car is cursed. What's the build number anyways? Hopefully mine wasn't made anywhere near yours.

Must be a wheel bearing then, when yah jack it up check for play in the wheel, if there is more then likely it's a bearing, unless something else is loose.

Yeah, the only thing stopping me from thinking its the bearing is that when i tap the brake. the noise stops for 3 or 4 seconds after the pedal is released....
I hope its just some dirt or something. that i can solve with a bit of brake cleaner.

Maybe this?
TSB 03-20-2: Suspension Creaking
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This applies to all Foci produced from 2000 to 2003. I'll assume it's also a *possible* issue on SVT models:
SUSPENSION - Creaking, crunching, grinding or rattle noise from front suspension at slow speeds over bumps and/or while turning
NOISE - Creaking, crunching, grinding or rattle noise from front suspension at slow speeds over bumps and/or while turning

I dont think it would be the suspension. because it happens when the car is going in a straight line. bumps dont effect it.
