i am getting a low pitched humming noise(sounds like from front right) when turning left around light curves. after reading on here i suspected rh front wheel bearing. i jacked truck up and checked for movement,all seems solid. what would you guys check next?

Mine is doing a rattling metal noise like tire rubbing but does not do it all the time and does not matter on turn percentage or speed. I have yet to figure it myself. Only does it turning to the left and sounds like it is on the right side. One thought is check the front differtial for water in it. There is a vent tube if not moved up can collect water. I am debating to check mine.

When my passenger side bearing failed there was no movement in the wheel when jacked up .. noise I was hearing when driving became progressively worse - it was loudest when turning .. new hub/bearing fixed it .. I also put the truck up on 4 stands and had all 4 wheels turning in 4wd with no noticeable noise.

I have had mine up the other day and set the frame on some blocks. Could not find any thing loose feeling either. maybe it is may wheel bearing.
