Front end Noise
Ive posted this topic before but I am having terrible front end noise in my 2002 Escape. I realize it could be the tires and little noise barriers but could it be wheel bearing? It has a humm between 25 and 40 mph. It get louder as the truck warms up.any help would be appreciated

How many miles do you have on your Escape? I couldn't imagine a 2002 having wheel bearing issues, but you never know these days...
Have you done a visual inspection? Maybe it's something simple.
And try rotating your tires and see if the condition moves.
Try the simple things first and then go from there.
hope this helps (everyone gets lucky sometimes!)

I had a front end noise in my 2003 Escape. Sounded just like a stone jammed in the calliper. Took to dealer...no rock....changed berrings....no change...changed brake pads.....changed roters.....still grinding.
They finally discovered the noise was from the tranny!!! only 1900km's !!!!!
Traced it back to the assembly plant and a worker had put a part on wrong for a whole shift. So if your Escape was made the same date as mine..........
Woks like a dream now...love the thing!!
Happy driving
