Unhappy Wheel Hub?????

Hi guys

I have problem with my 02 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4. Since I have replaced rotors and brake pads there is a weird noise coming out form passenger site wheel. Sound different each time one time like rubber piece is touching a metal surface,other time like piece of sheet metal touching a brake rotor,another time like 2 pieces of steel blocks chafe against each other.
The most of the time it happened when I turn left. I can't describe that noise.Also I can feel vibration on my car when its happening.
I went under the car and nothing suspicious found. The wheel bolts are tight but I can feel a free movent. No steering wheel shaking during driving,but the truck is moving from left to right(not much barely visible).
Is that a wheel hub? Ball joint? Where I can go to get a professional help with that?

Thank You

did you try lifting up the front putting jack stands under it and then checking it?
Put the jackstands under the A Arms. then take and turn wheels and rotate the tire. as needed Check for ball joints, control arms, tie rod ends, CV axle's, check to see if a boot is torn on them
Also leave the key in and turned forward so the steering wheel won't lock.
