Odd noise when turning LEFT
So, about a week ago, my truck started making a howling noise when I was driving, Keep in mind, my dodge has 78,000 miles, and 62,000 of them were driven by my great uncle, I dont go off roading, mudding ect either.
So I thought, tires need to be rotated, maybe off balance. That didnt help, but today I noticed while on a curvey road that it kinda shimmys and makes the noise driving straight, makes it louder/worse when going left around a curve, and it COMPLEATLY goes away when going around a right bend.
What could this be? I did jack the truck up, and tried to rock the tires back and forth, up and down, didnt move at all, solid. I think hubs are ok.
Thanks,
Ryan

Not really, ball joints take ALOT of pressure to move usually.
The rocking up and down when the truck is jacked up means a bad bearing but you've already covered that.
This is what a bad bearing looks like

Well you dont have to replace them in pairs but most places only sell them as a set, "Upper and lower" and if i were you and were going to pain in the *** trouble of doing the ball joint's i'd do both top and bottom cause its not something i'd want to do more than once in a loonnnggg time
