Lenny Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Wheel bearings perhaps? Try switching off ESP and see if it still hapens because ESP applies the brakes sometimes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyPaine Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Book it in to a dealer and state there is a metallic grinding noise that seems to be from the driveshaft area... If they're worth their salt they'll find a tsb Blue blooded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyrb Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Well they found the problem The brake calipers or pads are grinding into the disc leaving 2 distinctive marks on it It's safe to drive they say lol Cause I had a alloy changed under warranty looks like they didn't care much bout putting it back on theve hit it 3 times I'm thinking perhaps it was the calliper they hit with it Sent from my iPhone using Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
