I own a 1999
Sable GS with just over 155,000 actual miles. I am experiencing a low-pitched hum from the front end at just about any speed. There is also some vibration. This humming becomes louder when ascending/descending hills. I just had the rear wheel bearings checked, the right one replaced. I had the front wheel bearings checked back in May. My mechanic said that they were fine. Is there a possibility of the ball joints, C-V joints or tie rod ends needing replaced? I am uncertain of what to tell a mechanic to check with this type of noise, especailly when I spent considerable money to have the right, rear wheel bearing replaced. It had to be removed by a cutting torch because it was seized to the rod. I am beginning to think this vehicle is junk, and that I should find a decent Crown Victoria or Mercury Marquis with REAR WHEEL DRIVE. I am beginning to think that these 1996-99 Taurus/Sables have faulty front wheel drive components, as well as these vehicles' rear components. I am also beginning to think that a rear wheel drive vehicle is more reliable and cheaper to operate considering the repairs that I have had and am eventually facing. How much longer can I drive this Sable before it has to be salvaged because of faulty engineering? I appreciate any advice that I could get. Thank you </span> |
