Drive Train Axles Bearings problem
2002 Ford Focus
----------------------------------------------------------------
Today whenever I made a turn I heard a loud thumoing sound coming from the front of my car. When making wide or slow turns the noise con't be heard. Could hhis be the ballbearing or axle and what is the approximate cost for these repairs and how dangerous is it? Thanks

sounds like its either all joints or a bad wheel bearing, best way is to jack it up and check for movement in ball joints, tie rods or wheel bearings, tie rods can cause a really loud popping noise also.

get back to me with what you find.
