*****front end noise*****

Im hearing a odd noise coming from the front end. Kinda of a deep grinding noise when im heading down the road....its kinda hard to describe the noise. Any thoughts of what it could be? I have a little play in the driver side front wheel. Im gonna replace the bearing today. Anyone else have this problem?

Check with the people who installe dthe lift. My front drive shaft was making a similler noise and when they installed my lift superlift did not send a piece that sets the angle on the drive shaft off of the transfer case. also there is a clocking device that changes the angle on the front pumpkin.

i just replaced the driver side bearing and its a NO go. Waste of money..kinda. The lift has been on the truck for a month or more and it just now starting to make the noise. I thought of removing the front drivshaft to see if thats the problem...did you get the piece from superlift and then that fixed it?
