Thanks so much!!!!

2008 Edge SE 2WD w/ 70k on the odometer Love this vehicle, but have noticed a "whir" coming from the front and I have a few questions. I'm posting this as I just want to make sure that I'm chasing the correct problem and don't have to just take the shop's word for what's wrong. I never mind paying for work to be done as long as it fixes the problem!! A constant "whir" comes from the front end starting at 40 mph and starts to quiet down around 75. I know it's not the tires as they are new and the sound is present not matter the road condition (rain, snow, dirt, or brand new blacktop). When I make wide right turns, like when going around the cloverleaf to get on the highway, the noise is completely gone. When making any type of left hand turn (at speed) it's there!! My first thought is wheel bearings, but it's just a whir and no grinding or play in the wheels. I did get quoted $250 per side for then to just press in new bearings. Seemed high! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Brian

Hello! Tried doing a search to no avail....... 2008 Edge SE Wife said A/C wasn't blowing enough and I took it as it low on refrigerant (in reality, I probably just needed to clean the cabin air filter, which I did). Bought the can of R134 at O'Reilly's, read the directions, and added the refrigerant. Followed the directions to a t, but here in lies the problem....... Now the compressor kicks on and off every 15-30 seconds and blows ambient temp air. There is definitely enough pressure in the system and I have no idea as to why it all of a sudden is doing this. To sum it up, wife said it wasn't getting cold, when in fact, it was cold, just not enough blowing power. I charged the system and now my compressor won't stay on. Any ideas would be helpful!!!! We're going on a road trip on Thursday!! Many thanks!!! Brian
