Ford Taurus sound on turns only, Suggestions?
Morning all- I have a 98 F**d Taurarse w/ 112k on it. when I make turns, either direction it makes a wong, wong sound, but more high pitch, which it sounds like it is on the rear left side. the only thing I can think it would be is a bearing. But as I have said before I am not very mechanically inclined. Any thoughts? I have definitely gotten my money out of this commuter. it was my wifes old company car. bought it for 2k with 60k miles. It has been serviced at every interval, but it is a domestic gasser with 100+k miles and aren't they supposed to have things go wrong to keep mechanics busy?
anyway, prob wrong place, but many of you are gear heads and know a ton about vehicles, so I thought I would ask.

sounds like a cv joint to me.
edit: although u say its coming from the rear....if its from the rear...im thinking wheel bearing...or perhaps other wonr suspension....seems like taurus was independent rear susp....worn/busted strut maybe?

A "good" mechanic will be glad to show you the problem before starting repairs. If they won't show you what's wrong, find someone who will. Just my opinion.
