Front Wheel Noise

[Skrams]

I have noticed a 'creeking' noise coming from the front wheels on my 2007 Hurricane (Ford F53 chassis with only 2,000 miles on the clock). I noticed it when my wife was moving it and I was directing her at a campground yesterday.

I have booked it into the Ford dealer for Wednesday AM to have them look at it.

Any thoughts? I want to be as prepared as possible before I leave it in as I am not mechanically inclined when it comes to steering / suspension issues.

The service advisor also stated that there is the possibility it might be a coach-builder issue and not a Ford issue. How does that work with warranty?

try tightening the lug nuts to the correct torque and see if the noise goes away.

Even though your coach has only 2000 miles, it may be a lube job will solve the creaking noise. Many times dry rubber/neoprene bushings will cause the type noise you are hearing.

Good Luck - Glenn

I removed the wheel liners tonight a checked it out. The noise is gone. I never would have guessed it could be that simple.

Thanks for the advice.

Those stainless steel wheel liners if not tigthen will squeek like the front brakes when they are worn out.they are rubbing against steel and moving back and forth if loose.

I saw one couple that removed their front wheel liners because of the noise. I told them that they have to be tighten only using the tool that comes with the liners as hard as possible. Do not use torque or power tool. . Some folks worry when did see the liner starting to bend when they tighten with the special tool with the t - handle so then they tighten them by hand . And then a little wth the t- handle.

I hope you didn't leave off the front liners , they look real ugly w/o them . They also keep the brake dust in . And it keeps your tires and wheel appearance sharp looking
