Ford Mondeo noise when driving
Variant: 2.0 16v Zetec S Mk2
Model Year: 2001
Categories:
Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
Hi,
Ongoing problem with my Mondeo.
I have driven 150 miles today so had a good feel for the problem but unfortunately I'm not mechanically minded.
1. Car pulling to the right under acceleration - recently noticed today. What could this be and how much to fix???
2. There is a noise from the front of the car - I will try to describe:
a. it sounds like a whirring
b. it is intermittent from loud to soft and this is continuous
c. when turning right or left more than 45 degrees it gets more grinding like
d. braking from 30mph it becomes more grinding instead of whirring but is still a whirring/grinding
e. appears to be more drivers side then other side but could be central due to driving position being on the right side of the car
f.am getting slight vibrations through the steering wheel especially when braking at the lower speeds
g. is more noticable at 50mph as whirring and below 30mph gets louder but only under braking
Here is what I have had done already:
1. intermediate driveshaft bearing
2. passenger side driveshaft
all under advice from ford or other garages
Now, what I need to know is:
1. what could this be?
2. how much is it going to cost me?
Any help appreciated - many thanks

sounds to me like you need new discs and pads on the car and possibly new front wishbones which are common as muck on the mondeos the reason i say you need this is one the judder through the wheel will be down to the discs possibly warpped ie deformed and replace the pads at the same time as for the pulling this will also be related to discs and pads and warn bushes on the wishbones this cost wise depending on the model and year of mondeo you have will be looking around the £120 mark
