I'm not a motorhead, but a similar thing happened to me on the right front 0f my 2005. It eventually got bad enough that I had it replaced. Not sure why it failed, but I often wondered if it was damaged duing an accident I had several years ago when a young lady saw fit to make a left turn in front of me. You might check the boot around the joint to see if it is torn.
2002 Escape 4wd CV Joint Help!
First Post!
My wife has a 2002 Escape XLT 4WD. Noise coming from the front end while turning.
I put it on jack stands and found a slight knock in the left cv joint/half shaft on the transmission
end when turning the wheel by hand.
The right side does NOT make this noise. Is this cause enough to replace the CV joint?
I don't want to waste money changing the cv joint if this noise is normal in other Escapes.
Any answers are greatly appreciated.
