I love my Escape. Bought a 2005 XLT about 2 years ago "used" but in great shape. Keep up on regular maintenance and just recently replaced the brakes. I have never been bothered by any noises and then last week it was like something was loose in the front end. When driving slow I could here a low clunk clunk clunk. Took it to my long time and trusted mechanic and it was the suspension....more specifically the "linkage". Replaced both sides for 40 bucks a side and no more clunk clunk clunk. It is the perfect little truck for me and my husband is happy about that cause I never want to drive his lol

Hi I just picked up my NEW (for me) 2002 escape.
 
On the way home from car yard as soon as I hit 100km in OD it rattles, vibrates and is clunky in the front end.
 
But if I turn the OD off it runs all the terrible noise diappears.
 
I thought maybe the OD gears was missing some teeth or something?
 
Anyone got any ideas please.. I am hoping i can get the dealer to fix it but It would help if I knew what it was.
