Default wheel bearing

so i had my truck in the shop last month getting new breaks put on and the guy told me he thought my driver's side wheel bearing was going out because it made a different sound when you make a left turn didn't notice it till this week. it makes a sound almost like something is grinding/binding only when i make a left hand turn. so when me and a friend put on the new rancho struts the other day i had him check ie jack the wheel up and see if there was any play, no play in it but he said he wasn't sure due to it not being on a hub. any one have any ideas. i don't want to spend a $100 for a new one if i don't have to.

Default ok

look at the plate behind the disk if not touching anything...and if not, go roll next to a wall if you ear a rubbing noise without no loose its the bearing 100$ is cheap but go for a US made one stock from dodge are sh... and good luck to remove them they probabely gonna be stuck to rotor and spindle (i had to scrap my disk to remove it) and to remove complete spindle assembly took around 20 big hit with 10pounds hammer...
i assembled everything back with a tone of anti seize!!! my truck is a 2006 with only 50 000km!!!!


good luck my friend!!!
