grinding noise while tuning sharp left at slow speeds. major vibration at 100k+
05 dakota qc 4.7 4x4 awd. its got 165000km on the clock. ive been replacing things slowly since Ive bought it just did my front stabilizers yesterday. the guy before me replaced both of the front hubs and i saw that yesterday when taking the wheels off. it grinds quite loud while turning sharply to the left nothing to the right. i know the power steering pump is at its end but that's not the noise. it also vibrates quite violently when going 100km an hour. i plasti dipped my rims yesterday so i rotated them and the the left front still is vibrating at 100km plus.

this is what it does
0-95km nothing
96-98 some what
99-100 is my wheel falling off.
but oddly enough sometimes hitting a bump it makes it better.

here is a video of me moving the shaft. it does not move very much but it makes a noise the other side does not.


also no play in both wheels up or down. new lower ball joints and outer tierods

Not sure, but you say the guy replaced the hubs I'm having the problem when I go on/off a exit ramp or turn right on a curve, to where the weight is on the passenger wheel and it hums. So I'm thinking mine is the hubs. I'm also having clicking when I put it in 4x4
