I have a 1993 Ford Thunderbird Lx 8cy. 5.0 engine. I bought the car 5mos ago. Recently I have noticed a squealing sound, coming from the right front wheel. when I first accelerate, it gets louder then the sound goes away. I also hear kind of a roaring and rumbling sound coming from the front end. I also hear a clicking sounding coming from the left front wheel when I turn the wheel. The car is an automatic all wheel drive Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Nov 15, 2009, 12:59 PM Post #2 of 4 (3838 views) Re: squealing and roaring sound Sign In ladystarrfire; The squealing, grinding noises you hear could be a couple of, or a combination of, brakes or wheel bearings. Either way, you need to get this inspected as soon as possible. All wheel drive? Loren SW Washington ladystarrfire New User Nov 15, 2009, 8:57 PM Post #3 of 4 (3830 views) Re: squealing and roaring sound Sign In Thank-you for your input. I meant rear wheel drive lol. Had a friend look at it today. With the car up on a lift. You can move the wheels. Push and pull them. I was told the wheels need new hubs and bearings. A Friend will fix the car alot cheaper. But I was wondering if someone could tell me exactly what tools are needed. And possibly step by step instructions. And any suggestions, as to where the best place is, to get the parts. The car has about 160,000 miles on it. I really need to get this car in safe running condition. As I was told not to drive it, until the wheels are fixed. And to think I drove the car, all the way from Florida to Tennesse. And I would like to drive it back to Florida in the Future. Thanks for help.

We buy ours from CarQuest. I'm sure that NAPA also carries them. Pretty basic, as far as replacing them. The Mitchell labor guide calls for 1.2 hours to replace both sides. Raise and support the vehicle. Remove tire, brake caliper, axle nut, then hub assembly. May need a hub puller. You can rent one from some of the major parts stores. Tighten the axle nut to 188-254 ft. lbs. of torque.
