99 Taurus noise problem
This is a continuing problem - I've been here with it before. It's a '99 Taurus wagon with a squealing/whining sound coming from the left front wheelwell area. Sounds something like an ambulance siren, kicks in and out around 25 mph. As the car slows, so does the sound. The brakes and tires are new so nothing there - my mechanic's scratching his head. Could it be something rotational or is it an airflow noise? Inquiring minds would like to know

For anyone curious enough to read this thread, the problem turned out to be a lump of dirt trapped between the ABS sensor and the inner part of the wheel bearing. Dirt removed - noise gone!
