Default Need your Help

Im sure this is a common problem, however I have searched thru 30 pages or so and have found some things that were similar but not really. So dont beat me up to bad for asking this. When I start from a dead stop, I hear like a faint moan from my driver side wheel area but quickly goes away. It doesnt do it when I turn from a dead stop tho. And to top it off, it only does it like 80% of the time, not always. Do you think it is the hub, bearings or something else, and should I be worried

If it only does it after stopping, it could possibly be a sticking caliper even.

Jack up the front. You should be able to feel it when spinning the wheel.

Could also just be suspension related that when you are at a dead stop and moving forward the weight of the truck is shifting

Im sure it is an easy fix as long as you can locate and identify the noise
