Default Front end noise

Hello,
Today I noticed a new weird noise coming from the front end of my 99 4X4. While turning it sounds like the tires are rubbing on something or kind or like the noise you get when you drive on that rough strip on the edge of the road that's there to wake you up. Not a very low parking lot speeds, but say 15mph or above. Seems to be the left side mostly. I am thinking hub/wheel bearing, but not 100% sure. I did get the right assembly replaced. Does anyone think I am on target or maybe has a better idea?
Thanks

I can't say for sure, I guess I will have to go and try it.

Yes it does. Bought the part today, will change it out soon. My choice was limited to a made in china part or a "premium" made in Korea part. I choose the premium one. Kind of sad when you try to drive an American truck, but can't buy American parts for them.

was this your hub or wheel bearings? Are they seperate pieces or do you have to buy them as one?
