About two days ago my truck just started making an obnoxious noise, like a squeak..., I have narrowed it down to the drivers side front wheel. That is the only place where noticeable noise is coming from. When I am driving straight you can barely if at all hear it but whenever the wheel is turned at all it gets very loud immediately.... Just got new tires and I don't think thats a problem they were the same size as before. I believe it to be a wheel bearing. It is extremely annoying and just want it fixed. What are anyone's thoughts... Thank you very much Tom.

Change your wheel bearing, sooner than later. Carnage, expensive carnage can be the result.

Take wheel off and turn hub and see if you can make the same sound. If you do the hub good time to check u-joints since they come out to change hub bearing. Also check axle u-joint on that side.

If 4X4, Axle Ujoint....... don't play around, get it fixed.

Took wheel off and there's 0 play in the rotor.,,. So I believe the bearing is still good.... Also the U joint appear to be fine also.... Guess I'm gonna just change everything.

besides checking all joints you may not get a sound but you can jack up the front end turn the wheel just a small amount and free spin the wheel and listen and see if the axle joint is binding at all. take the other side wheel off and feel if the bearing on that side is as smooth as the suspected bad side. I doubt your heat shield is cracked or is rubbing.

It's not the dust shield.... I did take the wheel off and spun the rotor.... I narrowed down to the left side if the spring.... Mainly the hub area.... It's eithor something within the hub, or the hub itself.... It's not the u joint.

It was the wheel bearing
