Front End or Brake Problem????

I have a 94 Ranger 2.3L Recently I was getting a scrapping and thumping noise from the front drivers side. I replaced calipers,pads,rotors,shoes,wheel bearings. The truck was fine for a day and now the thumping has come back. Seems to come when I let off the throttle! Any suggetions!

Do you notice any change when you apply the brakes? Does it vary with your speed? Have you tried switching tires front to back to eliminate them?

I'm assumming it's a 2WD?? If it's 4WD, more possible sources of noise obviously.

Front End or Brake Problem????

i had the same exact problem with my 94 3.0 4wd, i originally thought it was the hubs, but it turns out that the u-joints on the front axle shafts were worn, im not sure how often yours does it, but mine was after 3mph, till i slow down, both left and right turns, and sometimes in 4WD, id take the wheel off and check your u-joints on both sides, i had mine replaced and i have no regrets!!

hope this helps
