Default Grinding Noise
I had my truck parked for about an hour last night and when I left it started making a grinding noise. Sounds as it maybe coming from front driveshaft,differential. not forsure does anyone have any input on what it might be?? It started after I hopped a medien to get to the other side.

Its on my 1997 Ram 1500 5.9L 4x4

Jack up the front, and spin stuff. Bad bearing will be easy to feel.

I had a bad bearing and axes joint in my driver side. Replaced them last night and it is still doing it. Not as bad now but still a little.
