Got this noise in the front of my truck that i can feel under me sounding like it is on the drivers side. The sound is like a grinding type noise that gets its loudest around 35-45 mph..but it goes with the rotation of the tire. Thought it could possibly be the bearings goin bad but i jacked up the truck and shook my tires and i dont have much if any movement at all..so i thought well maybe those were okay then i thought maybe u-joints but driveshaft is stiff and so i just dont know what it could be..is there another way of checking to see if it could be the bearings..it almost sounds like it is a bearing problem..also just put a leveling kit and new shocks on and thought that could be the problem but it isnt..so if you guys have any ideas that I could check that would be greatly appreciated..the noise keeps getting worse as i drive it and dont want the wheel to fall off while drivin..thanks

 

did you get an alignment after the level? if so, maybe the alignment is a little out of wack and the tires are running funny down the road
if not, get one

 

Yes i got the alignment the next day after my install of the level and shocks so I knew that wasnt the issue

 

I have had a rock get stuck in between my rotor and that thin metal guard on the rotor and it sounds aweful,just a thought.

 

sounds like brakes hanging up or wore out to me

 

i too would have the brakes checked .....

 

Mine did that then got louder. It was a bad hub bearing.

 

Did you take the drive shaft off to check the u-joints? if not then do so. Sounds like it could be a seized u joint, hence the no play.

 

found out the noise is coming from the cv joint area..taking it to a mechanic tom and he is gonna put it on a lift and figure it ot further..looks like a bearing possibly off the passenger front drive axle. But thanks for all the suggestions..all those were somethin that was possible..wish i could fix this problem myself but i dont get into the drivetrain..so i will let someone else handle it..
