Why does it sound like my tire is rubbing when I turn?
When a tire goes bad, you’ll hear a grinding noise while driving. Two likely reasons are because of wheel bearing issues or bad CV joints. CV joints transfer power from the engine to the wheels. You have a bad CV joint when you hear a clunking noise in the tire when making a turn.
What is a PTU in a Ford Edge?
Power Transfer Units (PTUs) The PTU is an all-wheel drive (AWD) transfer case used in cars and sport utility vehicles. It allows for power to all four wheels either part time or full time, and also varies how much power goes to the front and rear by specific driving conditions.
Why does my Ford Edge 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. This is particularly true when it’s the front bearings that have gone bad. Louder With Speed – Typically, bad wheel bearing noise will increase as you increase your Edge’s speed.
How can I tell if my Ford Edge has a bad bearing?
Test Drive – The best way to diagnose bearing noise in your Edge is to take it for a drive. You’ll be looking to hear the hum increase as the speed picks up. Jack and Wiggle – With your Edge on jack stands, you’ll want to look and see if the wheel is wiggling at the bearing. If it is, that’s proof positive that you need a new wheel bearing.
Why is my front tire making a rubbing noise?
The tread on the tire looks fine, I know it’s not scrubbing the wheel well, and it has brand new strut assemblies, including mounts, springs, and insulators, on the front end (the noise was there before replacing then with no change afterwards).
What kind of noise does a bad wheel bearing make?
Noises – The most consistent sound that a bad wheel bearing is going to make is a low pitched grinding sound. This noise should be coming from the wheel or tire area. Extra Play – Does your Edge’s steering feel as it should? If you have a bad wheel bearing, it could feel different.

Why does my Ford make a ping noise?
If the bearings are okay, then it’s likely there in a wrist pin issue. Ping: Similar to sprinkling nails on a piece of sheet metal, this sound is caused by an air and fuel charge exploding instead of burning smoothly. The EGR valve could be clogged or your ignition timing could be advanced.
