Re: Clicking Noise Ford Escape

Is it when you start turning, when you're turning all the way to the lock, when you're sitting still or moving, under power or coasting, under braking, etc.? Think about these conditions and give more info.

if the car is FWD, then it's most likely bad CV Joints.

It is FWD, but if he is sitting still i think it is steering related

Re: Clicking Noise Ford Escape

the expeditions have a bad problem with the upper bushings and ball joints...have not heard the escapes having it but with ford engineering im sure that could be the problem...
