New cmax Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 My c-max had a constant light grind noise when I bought it. The brakes were rusty from sitting. So I did the front brakes and learned the passenger side front bearing was junk. So I had the bearing changed put the front brakes back on. Yet I still hear a very slight grinding but it’s a lot better then it was but not gone completely. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the splash guard - likely that has bent and rusted such that it is touching the rotor just enough. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New cmax Posted July 31 Author Report Share Posted July 31 I just got it back from ford and they said they can’t pinpoint the noise and suggested it was from the transmission…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTrigger Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 Could be the tranny. What year and model is your CMax and how many miles? Early models (~2013-14) used a suspect bearing in the transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
