ive just recently bought a ford escort and there is something wrong with it.

when im going 20-30mph all is well but when i accelerate there is a realy loud noise(not engine) that gets louder when i go right and quieter when i go left.

The noise is realy loud (louder than stereo) and gets even worse when i go right, also the hole car seems to be vibrating .
Also when the engine is idleing and you turn the s/wheel right the revs move about eraticaly.

can any1 please help me with any ideas what the problem could be.

many thanks

Could possibly be a wheel bearing,but it is hard to diagnose noises over the internet so get your garage to assess the fault for safety and peace of mind.

The erratic idle could be linked to the power steering pump when turning the wheel.
If the noise is not from the wheel bearing It could possibly be the cv joint.
