2003 Explorer-weird front end noise
 

I have changed the hub and bearing assembly and still are experiencing a thumping and whining noise in the front end. Any suggestions?

maybe drive shaft universal joint? i would jack front wheels up a few inches, rotate the drive shaft and wheels--- look around, look at axle pinion movement, etc.

Thumping noise - might be the tire. Not sure about the whine.

Changed both left and right hub & bearing assy.'s and check the u joint on the front drive shaft all are good.
