I just replaced both front hub assemblies on my 2000 Explorer Sport(4.0 SOHC)
I had been having a lot of road noise, roaring coming from the wheels/bearings on the front, so I changed out both sides. That helped a lot, but I'm still getting some noise on the left side whenever I turn right. It's a roaring sound like you'd get from a hub & bearing assembly going bad, but I just replaced both passenger and drivers side assemblies.
What else could it be? I don't think it's the cv joint, that would make more a clicking/clacking sound.
I noticed, when I was putting the driver's side caliper back on I loosened the bleeder and put clamps on the pistons to push them back in, one of them didn't seat all the way against the back of the caliper; do you think maybe that could be where the noise is coming from?
The shocks need to be replaced on this vehicle, and the drive shaft CV joint on the shot shaft as well.
Thanks
