Problem overview

Some Cadillac Escalade ESV owners report experiencing persistent front end noise even after replacing the wheel hub and ball joint. These owners often find that the issue may stem from faulty or worn CV joints, which can produce noise during turns or acceleration. Additionally, problems with the front differential can lead to various noises, including roaring or howling sounds. Worn front shocks, particularly those with damaged upper insulator pilot rings, may also contribute to squeaks or rattles. A comprehensive inspection of all suspension components, such as sway bars and struts, is recommended, as hidden issues may be present. If the noise continues despite these checks, seeking a professional diagnosis from a certified mechanic or dealership is advisable to accurately identify the source and recommend necessary repairs.
