Hello FordForum comunity,
i detected in my explorer 2000 xls 2wd days ago a very strange little "click" noise in the left front wheel when turning stering to the left in a STOP position or parking maniuvers, however when this happen you can't feel anything in the sering wheel just hear the "click' noise which sounds kind of "hollow" not so loud, ok put it this way... like a very light hit with a hammer to the alloy wheel... could be there anything loose??? how ever it drives perfectly no probs at all... any coment will be wellcome...
Gracias!

 

The wheel could be a little loose, you might check it to make sure it is touqued correctly. Does it matter if the car is moving or will it make the noise only when at a complete stop?

 

could be a bad wheel bearing or a loose break caliper also. so you might want to check those out. or the turn stop could be bent or bad causing tire to rub somewere.

 

Dear Jr the first thing ai checked was the torqued in the wheel... and yes it happens only when the car is in comp stop and when parking manouvers.... is driving me a little crazy....

 

Wheel bearing??? pls tell more bout that! couse thers' no visual damage and brake caliper already checked.... thanks

 

I have this same problem and i was told to check my brakes and they are fine. I cant seem to figure it out either

 

Streetwave: I found my problem some time ago after checking brakes, wheel barings etc...,[&:] it was an Inner Tie Rod End, the left one to be exact, but i changed both, doing that the noise was gone and the driving got much better.... Hope this is your case and i helped you... GOOD LUCK!!!

 

have you had your CVC's or the wheel barrings looked at?
