I have a 2004 Ford Escape with 16′ OEM Factory installed Aluminum Wheels on it. Because of structural problems in the right rear wheel well the vehicle is no longer safe to drive. This vehicle has, at Christmas time, had about $600 of new tires installed on it.

What kind of brakes does the Ford Escape have?

The Escape has rear drum and front disc brakes, where competitors like the Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson and Toyota RAV4 have four-wheel discs. The Jeep Patriot has rear drums only on its lowest front-wheel-drive trim level. Ford restyled the interior for 2008, adding dark gauges with blue backlighting and a high-mounted display.

What are the changes to the Ford Escape?

There are no cosmetic changes for 2009, but Ford has reworked the spoiler under the front bumper and added rear tire spoilers, which look like squat little mudflaps in front of the rear wheels. Both are steps to improve aerodynamics and thus efficiency.

Why does my Ford Escape make bad wheel noise?

This effectively changes the wheel alignment repeatedly as you turn, accelerate, and brake. Worse When Turning – Wheel bearing noise will often get worse when you turn.
