Default Weird roaring and vibrating from the front

I have this weird roaring and vibrating that seems to be coming from the front right side of the truck. I replaced the wheel bearing and check the tire balance and nothing seemed to work it still does it. and it only does it around 60 mph. Any ideas? Thanks

Possibly U-Joint? Have you checked the fluid level in the diff?

Rotate your tires. See if the noise moves.

Don't think it will cause a vibration, but, roaring is also a good description of a bad fan clutch. Check it for the hell of it.

Ooooo, good call. And, if it is bad enough, it just might cause the vibration. (that, or a failing water pump?)

Vibrations are hard to track down, I can't remember how many times one would swear it was the front , when the vibration was actually coming from the rear. This one is hard without actually seeing it in person.

Check your wheel bearing! Jack the front up and see if there if either wheels wobble
