clunking noise

[b00xtreme]

i have a 94 explorer and there is a clunking noise everytime the wheel rotates on the driver's side. I just changed the brake pads about a week ago and not the rotors. I've checked everything to make sure everything is tight including suspension, brakes, etc. and everything is tight, im at a loss. im hoping that my rotors aren't warped or anything like that, they look really good so i wouldn't think that would be it

thanks in advance

Does the "clunking" stop with/without acceleration or braking? The truck is in 2 or 4 wheel?

the clunking stops when i apply the brakes and its in 2wd

It almost sounds like u-joint issues, or even the radius arm bushings. If your rotor was warped your truck would shudder as you are slowing down.

well i was checking things out yet again last night and its a warped rotor. i spun the rotor and in one spot it spins freely without any resistance and i put on new rotors today and it seems to have stopped.
