Hi, My husband had my tires replaced this week. Sorry, I drive a 2008 Ford Explorer. The car has been running fine - no problems what so ever. Now there is a sound when I turn or go quite slowly. We live on a street that is 25mph so we go slowly to start. I hear the sound while going straight at slower speeds, but also when turning - almost at full lock. It is difficult to describe the sound - not grinding and not screeching. Its almost as if I turned the wheel too far. The sound when running straight is lower maybe rubbing - sorry not sure. The sound seems to be coming from the right side of the car. I can also feel the sound, but it isn’t a strong vibration. My husband drove the car and said he felt nothing (of course - just like TV repair man syndrome). All 4 tires were replaced. Hubby checked the nuts - says they were alright. Can you please suggest something else I can check. He is at work now and we go on vacation Wednesday! Thank you Julie ---

It could be a wheel bearing that is failing ---

Does it make the sound when you turn in either direction or only if you turn in one direction? It makes a difference. Also, is it all wheel drive or rear wheel drive? ---

In addition to more clarity about under exactly what conditions the sound occurs, I’d also like to know more about the tires that were installed. Can you post the make & model? Were they new or used?
