Could be you are low on Power Steering Fluid. My 97 Villager seems to need it every 6-7 months. My van will make noises around corners (or hard steering) even if the level is "full". I fill it to the top and all the noises go away (at least for 6-7 months).
The turning radius of a Mercury Villager may depend on the year in which it was made. The turning radius is 38.7 feet for vehicles made during the 1993-1998 period.
Sounds like a drive axle half shaft. Have it replaced. Not that expensive.
A couple thing come to mind. Broken timing belt, broken camshaft, broken distributor shaft. Are you seeing the trend here?? I think your engine is BROKEN.
A single knocking noise when braking or turning can be caused by a faulty axle. The cost of replacement is usually around 1,000 dollars.
1. Large air impact wrench. 2. Fabricate or buy holding tool to keep pulley from turning while you remove nut.
You may be low on brake fluid. If you are low on brake fluid you may be ready for some brake work or you have a leak somewhere in the system, have it checked soon!
Bad CV joints. Replace the CV joints.
If it only stalls in corners this indicates a serious electrical problem that will only get worse
No.
Could be the CV joint is dry or has failed.
I would have someone check your timing chain a certified mechanic if you can get one
your cv boot has torn and needs replacement
