Hey guys! It's been a while since I posted on here, but I'm coming to you guys again with another issue that I have on a differed Ford Escape this time. However, I just wanted to start with an update on my last Escape. My beloved 2004 Ford Escape sadly met its end after I hit a deer with it. The damage was not that bad personally, but the insurance company ended up considering it a total loss, so I was on the market for a new one, and I ended up picking up a 2007 Ford Escape that I've been having some issues with lately, but that I've been able to get resolved.
So, to the issue at hand. Last week, I was on my way to work and I start to hear an awfully loud whining sound come from the right rear of my Escape. I immediately pulled over, and after waiting a moment, the noise went away. The next morning, I went down to my mechanic to see what was causing the issue, as I also developed a slight grinding noise. They told me it was the backing plates on my Escape that were causing the issue. I finally get them off and I'm still hearing the same noise, which my mechanic said would go away after a few days or so because its rut just working its way out. However, I was on my way home tonight, and I heard a whine start to develop again but that would go away once I go up to speed.
I'm not sure what's going on now, but this is something that I want to get settled fast before it leads into bigger problems. Any idea what could be causing this issue? Any help is appreciated!
