Right front wheel noise

I wonder if he's using the right material and is installing it the correct location? Ford published TSB 06-09-05 for this and they were very specific about the type of urethane tape to use and where to place it.

mechanic at my dealership says someone comes in atleast once a month for bad wheel bearings, and they just got hub caps from the same run as my focus , and his fusion.

Jeez...no, I dont have hubcaps. I would be LIVID if that was the case.

Well, they looked at the brake light and decided they didnt cause it (meh), but I had them run the brake diagnostic anyway since the ABS light has been on for about 4 years. They came back with a bunch of bad sensors, totalling about a grand in repairs...I said no thanks (actually told them up front I wouldnt be having it fixed). They also said after that stuff is repaired it should be scanned again to see if there were more codes that werent showing up.

Ugh.

LF sensor ring bad, RR sensor ring bad (this one I was pretty sure of), and two speed sensors up front. Gah!

Sounds exactly like my situation. The front passenger side is making a lot of noise now and my e-brake light comes on and flickers on and off while I drive.
