Front end noise on a 1995 Explorer 4X4 XLT.

[BillW]

I'm having problem with noise in the front end of my truck. I have replace the upper and lower ball joints and control arms, hubs, stocks, and sway bar kit. The tie rod ends look good and have no play in them. I have check all the fluild level.

The noise is when I turn to the right, its sound like you have big lugged tire on. There is no noise when I turn to the left.

The truck has about 150000 mile on it.

Any ideal would be great

Umm... There's not much left that you haven't replaced which could be making that noise. Usually the hub/bearing assembly is what does that. Are you sure the replacements weren't defective?

I guess it could be the hub. I replace both sides about three years ago. Is there away to tell if they are bad when you get up on a jack?

Thanks for the help

You can kinda tell, sometimes. The hubs usually don't develop any play when they go bad, but you could wiggle the wheel and check anyway. You could also try spinning the wheel and see if it feels like there's more resistance, but that's not a for sure method either.

Good lesson learned. Cheap parts are cheap for a reason. Your usually better off getting something with a lifetime warranty.
