I have a 2000 1500 4x4 with the 5.7, earlier this year the front bearing failed, I replaced it and all was good until lately. The truck is making a grinding noice or rubbing sound(like the rotors are rubbing) this noise doen't change with speed or breaking. The front wheel is leaning inwards slightly on the driver side. Also noticed the top of the rotor looks like it was rubbing something. Any clues as what I should be looking for? can the UV joints cause this? or is it in the bearings again?

Anyway thanks and Merry Christmas!

 

I have something going on very similar to what you describe. It's this growling noise from the brakes. You could possibly have a warped rotor from the bearing issue or weirdly worn pads. But I replaced all that on mine and still have the problem. Took it to a shop and they said to really clean up and lube the slides that the calipers slide on (not the pins) and the rear brakes may be way out of adjustment causing the fronts to engage too soon or drag. If you find it, let me know! I haven't had a chance to work on this stuff due to the blizzard.
