Hey guys,
I have a 2004 Ford Explorer V8 with AWD. There’s a thud-thud-thud sound coming from the driver side front tire when going 20+ mph and worsens when turning left and quiets when turning right.
Recently the wheel hub assembly completely broke into two pieces. I’ve since replaced the hub assembly, the CV axle, rotor, sway bar end link, and brake pads but the thudding persists. The tires are also relatively new. When I replaced the CV axle I noticed a new hub I installed prior was leaking grease. I replaced the hub again because it was under warranty but this thudding is destroying it.
It’s worth mentioning the car was ran into a curb hard enough to blow the right passenger side tire to shreds before I bought it. Not sure if it matters because the drivers side is what’s making the noise.
Any ideas on what it could be? I’m at my wits end and considering taking it to a shop.
