Default howllowing noise from front of truck

I have a howlling noise coming from the front of my truck sounds like around the tire area and was wondering if the bearings make this kind of noise or what it could be.I jacked my truck up and seen that both front wheels have play in them and the driver side alot more than the passenger.Info would be nice if yall have any.
Thanks Jeremy P.

What year is your truck? My '06 had a recall to check the front wheel bearings.

Maybe someone else will chime in with what they think it is. If it is bearings they should be replaced ASAP.

Thanks for your info I wish I could have been lucky with the recall.As I read more post on this forum I begin to wonder if it is something else like ball joints or tie rod ends.
