Need Help Diagnosing Wheel Noise
I've got a 2004 4wd Ranger with V6 4.0 XLT. 290k miles.
I have a thunk-thunk-thunk noise in my left front wheel. When I jack it up there is no play up and down.
I went to replace brake shoes and rotors recently, the pads were worn very unevenly on the inside so I also replaced the caliper on that side.
Tires are brand new.
Noise is not noticeable at speed, but annoying at lower speeds and audible as long as I'm moving.
There is no vibration resulting and it tracks well.
The noise does get worse in a right-hand turn, and less noticeable in a left-hand turn.
I guess I could equate the sound to what it would sound like if there was a rock stuck in the tire. As best I can tell steering rods look fine, I don't see any noticeable problems.
