Wheel bearing

Asked by Toad37 Mar 13, 2018 at 02:25 PM about the 2011 Ford Flex SEL

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just replaced the front driver wheel hub assembly after it
started making that all too familiar wheel bearing noise.
Took it out for a drive and the noise is still there. Not as bad
but I notice it. Any thoughts?

Make sure the hub assembly was installed correctly. Does the steering wheel makes any kind of minor vibration or shaking?

Check the other side or rear wheels, many times noises are deceiving as to where they are coming from when driving the car.

No shaking in the steering wheel. It only happens when going straight or making a right turn. Left turn the noise goes away. I suppose it could be the rear but I'm almost positive it's coming from the front driver. I can feel it in the gas pedal.

Well, double check on the work done. Jack up the car and move that wheel by hand in all directions, this might give you an indication of the problem.

I know this is old, but did you ever determine the cause of the noise? Mine is doing the EXACT same thing. Thanks.
