I had new calipers, brake lines and brake hoses put on less than a year ago. Since then, I’m hearing a clicking noise that corresponds to the speed of the tire rotation, which stops when I apply even slight pressure to the brake as I’m moving. There’s also a lot of clanking noise from what seems to be the front left side when I take even small bumps. When it was on a lift, I spun the tire slowly and heard what sounded like ball bearings clicking together. Is that normal? I feel like it isn’t. Any suggestions? Thanks. ---

Check if the [brake hardware kit](http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Duralast-Brake-Disc-Hardware-Kit-Front/1994-Ford-Ranger-2WD/_/N-j0molZ8kole?counter=0&itemIdentifier=78213_0_0_) was installed…I would guess it wasn’t. ---

It probably is a wheel bearing. You need to get this car in for repair ASAP and drive slowly. Better yet, get it towed. Losing a wheel is very bad news.
