Ok guys here's a question for you recently I changed out my upper and lower control arms on the driver and passenger side also new shocks and sway bar link on the driver side I noticed a rubbing noise when I slow down or when I turn left. Now the noise is not a grinding noise and it is kind of sqeaky now from reading previous threads I thought it could have been loose caliper bolts but checked today all bolts nice and tight next I checked how the wheel would be with the lug nuts on if there was any movement thinking that it might be the wheel bearing on that side again, nice and tight no movement. Now this noise does not occur when I apply the brakes only when I decrease speed or turn left. This noise was not there before we changed the control arms but it is here now if anybody has any ideas before I buy a new hub assembly it would be greatly appreciated the only things that I didn't change was the brake pads, they look good, tie rod ends, they were nice and tight and the cv joints which looked to be in good shape. The sound is definately coming from the driver side the truck is a 98 explorer 4wd any help would be appreciated thanks
