1 Front Suspension Hub problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2018

We had purchased this vehicle bout a year ago and when we got it we went to get tires and front end alignment and they ended up replacing upper nd lower ball joints, control arm and sway bar on passenger side. This was 6/20/2017. It wasn't making any noise until 1/3/2018. I was going down city street and something popped and then it started roaring. If you put in 4wd it roars loader and jerks. 1/23/18 replaced drivers side wheel hub and bearings. It still roars while accelerating speed but not as bad in 2wd but put in 4wd its real loud and jerks you . I have done research online for this year model sport trac and it seems like there are several complaints about this same issue. Everytime get one thing fixed on front end something else happens to it. You can drive it but if you get over 10-15 mph the roaring gets worse and it locked the the whole wheel up and jerked the truck to the side of the road.
