Hi,
I have a 98 Truck 5.7 liter. About a month ago I took it in to have front brakes put on. A few weeks later I begun to here rattle and grinding noise from the drivers side when making turns and going over bumps. Very obvious noises when making right turns at slow speeds. Well I have taken it back to the mechanic several times. He finally came to the conclusion that it was the lower ball joint. Well, after paying $400 to replace both upper and lower joints noise is still there. Before this I thought it might be something with the caliper but he tried replacing that and the noise was still there. He is willing to give me a refund, but I really just want it fixed. Any help would be much appreciated.
Sounds like something is loose when going over bumpy terrain.
When making right turns at slow speeds you here a kinda of grinding noise.
Thanks

check your wheel bearings.
