I have a 2000 Ford Ranger, 4X4, Automatic, when I back up with the steering wheel turned there is a "clicking" sound that comes from the front driver's side wheel. :cry: After removing the hub cover on the alloy wheel it seems warm ... the hub was warm compared to the other side before removing it. Could this be a wheel bearing...or brakes...any suggestions or advise is appreciated. Thank you. :wink:

The Ranger wheel bearing are pretty dependable. Try to get a quick touch on the rotors to see if there is a heat difference with them. I am inclined to thenk the pads aren't sliding as well as the should and the movement you hear is the pad shifting.
