Weird noise when going straight

Asked by Chase Oct 28, 2022 at 03:29 PM about the 2005 Ford Escape Limited AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2005 Ford Escape Limited 4x4 was recently serviced but is making a weird
pulsing, kind of knocking but "scratchy" sound that is felt in the steering wheel
when I'm going
straight and not pressing the gas. The noise goes away temporarily if I turn,
brake or accelerate. What could be causing this?
