very simple test - with the truck on the ground, grab the top of the tire with both hands and shake the sob in/out as hard as you can. there should be no movement. if there is, then it could be either wheel bearings or ball joints. so, you'll need to check a little further.
the second test is to jack the truck up and rotate the tire. it should be smooth and silent. a roaring or dry sounding noise is bad.
