My wife and I noticed that our 2003 Mountaineer V8 seems to have gotten
very loud. It's hard to tell what's going on, if anything....perhaps
it's just getting older....it was purchased in September 2002 and now
has 68,000 miles on it.
The tires are Michelin MS LTX and have about half the tread left (maybe
even less). Could it be the worn tires that got louder? I looked for
exhaust leaks but could find none on a casual inspection. Any ideas
would be appreciated.
