@That1Guy. My front wheel is solid. I jacked it up and it didn't move, I tore it all the way down to the bare hub (Brake Disk off) and it was solid. It makes a ticking noise at one point in it's rotation, and with the design of the Hub/CV Shaft its hard to pin point the sound. I'm taking it to a few shops tonight and getting an expert opinion and a quote on fixing it. (y'all will probably hate me for saying this, but) If its the CV Shaft, it can wait a while, but if its the hub It needs to be replaced ASAP so my wheel doesn't fly off...
I got it checked out today, and it is the Hub. I bought a Hub on eBay for $75 from a Dodge Dealer in NC and they quoted me labor for $120. So i'm not coming out loosing too much money on this.
It looks like there's no ABS Sensor on the hub to begin with, which seems strange since its a Big Horn so I figured it would have 4 wheel ABS, so I ordered the non-ABS Hub.

Honestly, the easiest thing to do is call the dealer parts department and give them your vin. They will let you know if you do have a sensor or not. That is before you get your hands dirty.
My wheel bearings took me about 30-40 min. Each side. This is on a 4x4 dodge durango. I'm sure the 2-wheel Drive versions are easier. You don't have to deal with a cv axle.
I had to have the driver side wheel bearing replaced on my 07 / 4X4 / 1500 / Quad this past April with approximately 26K miles on the odometer. In my case, there was a very obvious grinding noise/feel, especially when making turns. I paid an independant shop around $400 for the repair. Also, just yesterday I had a failed front driver side strut replaced. This truck is killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
