Default new wheel hub didnt fix noise

so i replaced my driver side wheel hub finally after getting terrible humming noise and footwell vibrations. the old hub was toast, bearing noise, and smelt like burnt grease. it needed to replaced anyways but the noise is still there. buying a new hub on friday and attacking the passanger side (i hope if fixes this). anyone have any other ideas???

turning left the noise is gone..

it doesnt click while turning so it cant be the axle shaft right?

Did you jack it up and check the wheels? I had a lot of play on mine when mine was going out. Ended up splitting the hub in half trying to pull the damn thing out

Did the noise happen after you lowered your truck? I'm thinking out loud

When turning left if the noise goes away that means its the right side bearing.

i first noticed it in the middle of the summer (stock height), it went away for a few weeks then came back after i lowered it. my tie rods were fine before lowing it, just noticed last week that they are toast. new ones should get here tomorrow, from rockauto.
