I dont know what is causing the vibration and grinding noise....I have changed many parts and still have this problem...I put the question with all the symptoms, hoping someone would know what the problem is.....I was told the front wheels don't have a hub assembly....For some reason Auto zone and O'Reily auto parts don't have the hub assembly for the front wheels but the car has a hub in front for the wheel bearing to fit in, I don't understand this...

I switch with other tires n the problem stays on front left side. How do I check rotor runout?

How to check if arm bushings are good?

------- My dad who is a mechanic,change the brake pads. he works in a body shop. I had this problem before he replace the brake pads even had the rotors resurface hoping this would fix the problem n it didn't...I had the complete cv halft shaft - the whole arm that goes from the wheel/rotor to the transmission replaced With a new part And I still have that problem. I tOok it for a computerized alignment Earlier this year And the guy said the car didn't need one because it was already good.

Anyone Good with Ford Cars What is the hard to solve problem? 2000 Ford Contour SE 4 cylinder ABS -- front wheel drive....when I accelerate pass 50 mph OR when I use my brakes the left side starts to vibrate, sometimes I can hear & feel something grinding in the pedals if I'm just driving on the street... - I have changed the tires with new tires, resurface rotors - brake pads, motor mounts, transmission mounts with new parts. - just recently had CV half shaft & wheel bearing on the left side changed , and that made the vibration more noticeable... - Now if i turn the wheel all the way left and drive -- it makes this grinding metal vs.metal, or cranking (kinda loud), but the cv shaft and wheel bearing (with wheel bearing grease) on the left side have been replaced with new parts. I have been trying to figure out this problem since 2007 .....Anyone Know what the problem is here? - I have asked this on Y! Answers before but didn't really get answers.... I need to fix this problem before it leaves me stuck on the freeway,...every time i drive the car, I start thinking that wheel will just fly off or lock up when l'm going on the freeway...
