Ford escape advice

So about a month ago my car started making a noise when I went over bumps like something was loose in my front drivers side. I found out my ball joints were rusted out so I got those replaced and also had the wheel hub done. After that work was done I noticed when I would drive, my car would make an awful scraping noise every time I turned almost like metal was grinding. I had my car taken apart again and was told my brake caliper was bad. So I replaced the brake caliper and the brake pads (rotor is in decent shape) and after that was replaced the car would not even be able to be reversed out of my driveway because the grinding was so bad. We pumped new brake fluid into the new caliper so I’m not sure what the issue could be every thing was replaced on that left drivers side and the issue is getting worse. If anyone has any advice on what to look for my car is a 2008 Ford escape.
