#1 of 2 howling sound under Escape 06 by pawel Aug 11, 2007 (8:04 am)
Hi I hear almost constantly the howling sound from underneath my Escape 06. It is accompanied by the slight vibration of a steering wheel, although I am not sure if these two have anything in common. I got to my service and they said it was the driving shaft, which they replaced. Did not change a thing and I am still hearing that. Can anybody suggest what to do? Maybe someone had that as well? Thanks Pawel Replies to this message: mwrotruski (Sep 18, 2007 7:04 am)

Replying to: pawel (Aug 11, 2007 8:04 am) Hi Pawel, I just bought a 2006 XLT V6 with 20K and after driving it for a week I also noticed drivetrain noise. I'm thinking it may be caused by the center support bearing, my tires were chopping in the front so I rotated them thinking this would end my problem, however after a road test the noise is still there. I thought maybe this was just nature of the beast so I test drove another Escape with similar millage, but it's noise was not as bad, but still very noticeable. My noise seems to start at 50 mph and above, and usually need to turn the radio up just to hear it. Not Good. If I isolate the problem I will pass it on.
