  2. Knocking noise while braking?

    in 2013 Edge & MKX

    Posted · Edited by Cryage

    Well that was a bit of a sinking feeling in the gut
    Bought a torque wrench just now since the other one is in my parents garage when I was helping my dad swap his tires. almost all of the lugs were lose (and i even had the tires re-torqued after having the brakes checked for the last service)
    One of my lug nuts is also missing on my back left wheel :eek:
    Do they just sell 19mm ones at princesss auto / the parts department at the dealership?
    Thanks!
    edit: I'll add, that was strange, zero wobble :/ I mean they weren't THAT lose, about 1.5 revolutions to re-tighten... but lose enough to be concerned!

    Great now my OCD is going to go nuts and I'll be re-tightening these weekly lol.

  6. Knocking noise while braking?

    in 2013 Edge & MKX

    I'd hate to post this in the 2013 section since it's likely not specific to the year of my vehicle, but unsure where else to post this (since I don't know if it's a wheel issue, brake issue, or engine issue).

     

    However the observation is as such;

     

    I have a 2013 Ford Edge SEL , great vehicle and overall happy with it. We have close to 58,000 kms on it after purchasing it in December 2013 - I use it for work to drive to and from appointments so a lot of highway driving and lots of use of cruise control - so not aggressive driving for this many kilometers.

     

    This last week, when I've been applying my brakes, and as soon as I get below 20-30 km/h I start to hear a knocking noise. When I reach a complete stop, then accelerate again I feel a small "kick" in the gas pedal and again, a minor knock.

     

    The sound appears to be originating from the front driver side (to the best of my ability in determining the noise while I'm driving , hard to move my head around to find out EXACTLY where ;) )

     

    Any thoughts on what would cause this? I'm suspecting the brakes since during my last service about a month or so back they advised they were taking apart the brakes to inspect the the assemblies since it's about that time during it's life cycle. Maybe something wasn't re-installed properly ?

     

    I'd appreciate all tips/advice. I'm going to likely setup an appointment for the dealership to install my winter tires this upcoming Friday so maybe I'll see if they can take a gander at the brakes and see if anything is lose.

     

    Thanks guys!
