Jointsprobably one of the ball joints in the front end. It might be past the point of simple lubrication now though, you may have to replace it. Have someone turn the wheel while you are under the car so you can track down where the sound is loudest and you will find the culprit.

It could also be that you just need to add Power Steering fluid to the car that can make a noise similar to what you are discribing.

Is there a need for lubrication in differential unit?

In most cases one of the differential units will be naturally lubricated, but there are some medical conditions that may interfere with this natural lubrication and so require a little extra "greasing of the wheels." If the units are similar units then lubrication will likely be required. If differential units are joined at a non-standard junction lubrication will also probably be necessary.

Where is the abs sensor on a 1999 Mercury Cougar?

The ABS sensor on a 1999 Mercury Cougar is typically located near the wheel hub assembly, specifically on the front wheels. Each front wheel will have its own sensor, while the rear wheels are equipped with a different type of system. To access the sensors, you may need to lift the vehicle and remove the wheel for better visibility and reach. Always refer to a repair manual for specific instructions and diagrams related to your vehicle.


Where do you get a disk brake conversion kit for your 2000 mercury cougar?

The best way is to go to a junk yard and pull the disk brake assembly off of a Cougar, or a Contour/Mystique, the latter two will require you still purchase a Cougar specific E-Brake cable though. There's plenty of info on this conversion in the wheels, tires, and brakes section at the newcougar.org forums.


What are the correct tire size for 1999 mercury cougar?

It depends on what wheels your cougar came with. If you have the 15 inch, six spoke fan blade wheels, you need 205/60 tires, if you have the 16 inch, sport package wheels, you need the harder to find, 215/50 tires. 17 inch wheels were not available in '99 to the best of my knowledge. If you have trouble finding the 215/50/16 tires, both the more common 225/50 tires, and the 215/55 tires can be used without much problem.
