I have a 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer model. Noise coming from front drivers side wheel area. Thought it was a brake caliber going bad. Brakes checked Good.

Did you bother to have everything ELSE in that corner checked when the brakes were checked? No? Why not? The truck was already on a hoist and the wheels off. If it wasn’t, the brakes weren’t checked properly.

Check each corner in the front thoroughly for failing parts - bearings halfshafts, suspension, brakes (again).

I notice you did say what type of noise, a rattle, groan, growl, what? How many miles on the truck? I assume it is 4WD because it is an Eddie Bauer but you didn’t say. What engine?
