scoot600 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi there I have a problem in that when I pull away I get a howling sound. It's not the engine, as it doesn't make the sound when I rev the engine. Could it be a build up of brake dust in the rear drums? I had a full ford service done about 2000 miles ago. Should they have cleaned the drums out under the service schedule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Might be the thrust bearings in the clutch. My mums car does it... Have you tried doing a hill start to see if it is worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Can you pinpoint what area the noise is coming from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoot600 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 The noise seems to be coming from the rear passenger side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 sounds like a rear wheel bearing if it only happens when moving you can jack the rear up with the handbrake off and make sure the rear wheel isnt stiff to move from over adjusted brakes ford missed my wheel bearing 3 times saying there was no movement in the wheel when it was done eventually the bearing was totally shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoot600 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 it seems to be the noise is coming from the clutch, as the noise goes when I depress the clutch pedal Is it a fault that needs seeing to in the near future or is it one of those things to live with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Does sound like thrust bearing then. Don't know if it really does any damage though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I would just monitor it and see how it goes. Ultimately a whine from the clutch release bearing is only going to get worse over time but I wouldn't be in an urgent hurry to have it sorted unless it's pretty bad.

artscot79 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Dunno look at mine it just suddenly went taking the clutch out at the same time if it starts slipping or you see oil drip from the bell housing get it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
