Grinding noise. "ouch"
I have a 2005 F-150 XLT 5.4L 4x4. When I was driving last week on the freeway,about 70mph, I heard a small clunk,followed by a loud grinding noise coming from my front driver side wheel. When I got home,I took the wheel off,I noticed my brake pads were worn,so, I replaced them along with new caliper pins,and brake hardware to be on the safe side. I thought maybe the caliper may have been sticking,because the little pin boots were torn,letting dirt into the caliper. Today , same thing happened. I went about 70mph, I heard a little clunk,followed by the same grinding noise. It will stay grinding until I slow down to about 5mph,in which I'll hear another clunk,then no noise. Does anyone think it might be a bearing in the hub? If it is, how hard is it to repair? How much could the bearing costif I even need one? And finally, can I do any tests to pinpoint the problem? Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Check this out, sounds like it is what could be happening to you. I just changed my solenoid last week before problems arose and it took about 15 minutes. There is a lot of information on this subject on the Forum:
