Front end noise
I have a 2001 f150 4x4 5.4 Liter 72000 miles.
There is a rubbing sound that is only audible when the brakes are applied. And only when applied with light pressure. The noise will contine intermittently until you come to a complete stop. If the brake is applied aggressively there is no sound at all. I am not sure if it is a brake issue or some thing in the front end that is flexing when slowing down.
Anybody got any ideas?

maybe a bad wheel bearing

I may try that but the pins & bolts are new and recently greased due to caliper bracket bolt liberating itself a few weeks ago. I replaced them then. I am beginning to think wheel bearing though. I just figured out how to disengage the front drive shaft from the differential. Vacuum leak to the actuator on the disengage side. I thought for a while there may be some noise from that but there is no change.
