Front end trouble

When I start a turn from a stop I feel a bidding, rubbing noise in the front end. This problem gets worse when I pull a trailer. This is on a 03 f-250 4x4. I have replaced ball joints, bearings and hub assembly. Any ideas????
Thanks,

Could be that athe caliper "sliders" are in a bind, or frozen. A quick inspection will tell you if they are working properly. The trailer part throws me for a loop. However I still believe the problem could be in the brakes

Do you have wider/larger tires? Could be rubbing on the frame. The more weight you have, the lower the frame is and the worse it will wear.

I do have wider tires. (285 75 16) I have run this size tire for the last 50,000 miles and this problem started about 8,000 miles ago. There is no sign of tires rubbing that I can see. I have replaced both upper and lower ball joints, new brakes and rotors, bearings. I was thinking the problem might be in the hubs??
thanks,
