Wheel bearing?

Noise coming from the front. Noticeable when I start driving and slowing down. Sounds like I have wide mud tires. Not sure if it’s the bearing or not. Any suggestions?
Also, what is the recommended ft/lbs for 8 lug. Currently at 135 ft/lbs.

4x4? Could be u joint at wheel bearing or even front driveshaft....4x2, maybe unit bearing. Oversize tires with Jr. 4x4 offset? I'd bet unit bearing. 135 ft/lbs is what I twist on stock aluminum wheels......

It would be helpful if you said what truck you have. Year and model

There are different torque values depending if you have a 3/4 ton vs 1 ton axles. Different lug nuts, different rims, different studs, etc

Ford's and GM trucks came with 8 lug axles, and I bet they have different values as well

Turned out to be the overdrive bearing.
