Explorer '94 brake noise

Help!! I just bought a used '94 Explorer in mint condition. Previous owner did everything in maintainence. Problem is there is a grinding/grating sort of noise when ya apply the brakes. We pulled the wheels, rotors are great, pads are like new, bearings are properly adjusted, i.e., not loose or over tightened. It almost sounds like the suspension is making the noise when the front of the vehicle dips down. ABS light goes out when started, hubs looks OK. Everything looks good but the noise is still there. Previous owner gave up on the problem and sold it with problem still there. Any ideas, suggestions, etc??????????????

Thanks. It does sound like a suspension noise. The radius bushings have been replaced by previous owner. Looks like they are OK, but I wonder............ Will check them out this weekend.
