Default Front end noise..

My truck has started making a barking noise (once every revolution of the tire) when ever i start to turn the wheel left and only to the right when I turn hard. I checked to see if the tire was rubbing and there isn't any signs of it. Any suggestions? I'm lost with this noise. 116k on the truck has the track bar gone bad? Help thanks.

Possibly a bad wheel bearing

Have you checked the ball joints, they will make the wheel making a creeking sound, usually once every revolution. Also, this is kind of stupid, would imagine you have checked this but, make sure your lug nuts are on tight, also.

but with the wheel bearing wouldn't it make a metal grinding noise not a rubber "barking noise"? If its the ball joints how expensive would it be to fix and is it something fairly easy for me to do in my garage/
