Default Front end noise/vibration 07 Dakota 4x4 3.7 c205

Sorry guys. I'm new I think I have the proper forum now

Front right noise/vibration. Lost

I KNOW. YOURE THINKING "READ THE OTHER 472 THREADS ABOUT THAT!"
I have.
07 Dakota 4x4 there is a sound almost a grinding noise and vibration coming from the front right wheel. Immediately I thought wheel bearing. When I looked I noticed the half shaft had come off the differential output (stub) shaft which seemed to have a slight amount of play. I changed the outer axle bushing in the diff (c205) as well as the seal and the retaining clip for the c/v cup/half shaft. The lube looked ok, the hub assembly has a tiny click when turned but so does the opposite side.
I'm far from inexperienced in the world of mechanics especially four wheel drive, but this has me baffled. Even though I'm confident it's not them. I plan to rotate the tires tonight. I wanted to put a feeler out there and see if there's something Dakotas were prone to which I'm missing though.

Default At a loss 👎🏼✌🏻️

Ok. Rotated tires... No Help. Still have the noise/vibration from front right.
Forgot to mention, lower ball joints, rotors/pads, and tires < six months (12-14k)old.
It's not often I'm completely stumped, but.... 🤕🔫
[DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS!?!???

I'd say replace the hubs on both sides and the cv joints. It's expensive but it probably needs done anyway.

I know it's been a month since your last post but, did you find the problem? If not, did you check the brakes for debris between the rotor and pads? (stones, etc)
