I been going through it with my beater trying to get it back on the road. This journey started with a rotted out shock mount. I took my measurements and only dropped the one side of the front end to make sure I realigned everything perfectly and so far so good. About 2 months after that fix I was having a grinding noise while braking,coming from the front drivers side, figured it could use some new rotors. After replacing both front rotors and pads still had the same problem. Saw a chip on the drivers new rotor so I swapped it out after advanced auto fought with me about it. Same noise with the 2nd new part. 🤣 it gets worse! After that I seen the bottom piston of the caliper was welding itself to the back of the pad so I figured I hat caliper has at least 120k miles and was probably already re built so I put a brand new caliper on….. same mf noise. Now I’m thinking hub and bearing it’s got to be, so I put a new hub and bearing on the drivers side first bc that’s my faulty side. Same. Damn noise!

Lucky me once I figure this out atleast I have a bunch of new shiny parts on my rust bucket! Anyways my next plan of action is taking out the front end drive to see if maybe it’s a bad u joint, and if that’s not it I’m going to have to assume my front dif is shot or getting there. If anyone has had this same problem or has any different ideas please HELPPP
