Default 2006Dakota 2WD Front end noise?

I changed both wheel bearings in the front end but I'm still getting this grinding type noise. Any suggestions?

Had a similar issue last week, in my case it turned out that my driver side caliper had seized up on me.

Your advice was gold. One cylinder on each caliper was seized. Thank you.

Glad I could help, everyone here has always been here for me. This past week I was having a metal on metal rattle that was driving me insane...couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was (after several hours under her) until Reject told me about the upper strut mount bushings. Yep, sure enough that's what it was.

I'm actually in the process of starting to post "How to" videos, since YouTube doesn't have many for late model Dak's. Hoping to start a trend with others here.

If you are good with posting videos and stuff and have suggestions for either tips, tricks, techniques, or apps that work well, please let me know.

(this is my first time ever doing this, and just posted part 1 of my "suspension maintenance how to")
