What could be causing the noise we hear when reaching 40 MPH on our 1999 Mercury Mountaineer, it sounds like when you are reaching a toll booth and the speed strips on the road warn you to slow down.

SOURCE: cant get spare tire off

The metal sleeve on the end of the cable,you turn it sideways and push it thru the hole in the wheel. If it is stuck to the wheel just pick up on the wheel then tap the sleeve with a hammer.

SOURCE: 2003 Mountaineer won't start, battery is good.

CHECK BATTERY CABLES AND FOR CORROSION,A BAD GROUND OR BAD CONNECTION WILL CREATE ENOUGH RESISTANCE TO PREVENT STARTER TO CRANK OVER ENGINE. IF BATTERY HAS 12V DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOOD,IT COULD HAVE ON 100 CCA'S, NOT ENOUGH.

Get to 40 mph and my a.w.d. mercury mountaineer just starts going all over the place have to slow down to control it

Make sure you don't have a blistered tire. Also make sure the tires are properly balanced. Lastly make sure there is not build up of dirt on the rims.

After oil change on 2010 mercury mariner I hear a whistle when i accellerate

Did you remove any plastic/metal splash shields under there to get to the oil plug/filter?
Make sure you put those back in correctly as they could catch air and make noise if put in wrong.

Other than that, I can't think of anything oil change related that would cause a whisteling sound.

I have a whining noise coming from my 1999 Mercury Sable. Starts at about 20 MPH and increases getting the loudest around 40-60 mph then holds steady, have shifted to nuetral and whining stays. I believe...

Could be anything connected with the front wheels.
So that includes hub-wheel bearings, axle joints, the differential gears, and the transmission.

2001 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER V8 DRIVES PERFECT UNTIL 60 MPH STEERING WHEEL SHAKES..THEN AT 70 MPH CAR SHAKES...BUT NO NOISE...WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?JUST BOUGHT IT YESTERDAY...DROVE IT 15 MILES AND PARKED...

This is often the result of a tire that is out of balance. Check for bubbles on any of the tires and have the tires balanced. That should clear up the problem.

1999 jeep cherokee making noise like running mud tires & shakes at about 40 to 50 mph

Have wheel bearings and c/v joints checked. Your description sounds like bearings, but I'd know better if I could hear it myself. Try to isolate the noise to a particular wheel to make sure it's not a differential or transfer case noise.
