This might help.

If you can grab the wheel (on jacks) and move it from 12 o'clock to six o'clock and also 3 to nine then you need new wheel bearings.

You're probably gonna need to put it on a lift to find that noise. As loud as it is it should be fairly easy to find from underneath. Possibly something cv axle related. Good luck.

Have it checked out by a professional mechanic with a lift. If it is a front-wheel bearing buy the whole assembly not just the bearing. Replacing the bearing can take hours of mechanic time.

There's no way that is a wheel bearing, wheel bearing makes a grinding or howling noise. That loud clacking noise is likely the cv axle, sounds particularly bad under articulation entering that slight incline. Grab the shaft and move it side to side, if it has play it needs replacing.

Sounds like maybe tire is hitting the wheel well or the body mount?

What kind of setup do you have? suspension, bl, bmc, tires and etc.

Love this forum.

Good guess, but I don't think so. I've had my setup for a while and have been using it on and offroad with nothing like this happening. I remember the sound of tires rubbing my body mount back before I got it chopped and it's nothing like this clacking. I have ~3" in the front with coilovers, UCA, front bumper, bmc, 285/75/17s, 0 offset wheels. Thinking it's CV axles given what I'm reading about problems with non-OEM ones offroad, especially when articulated. It's definitely taken some abuse on the trails.

Taking it in to the local shop next Tuesday.

Any input or advice as to what it could be would be appreciated?
Jack up the front end and with hands at 12 and 6, see if there is any movement in the wheels.

If so, probably the bearing(s). I had this on my drivers front that was progressively getting louder over the last couple of months (338000 kms on the truck so definitely time to change) Ordered two new complete assemblies for about $400 CAD and just replaced both this past weekend.

Very straightforward job. Driver's side took about 2.5 hours, making sure I was not forgetting any steps. Passenger took about an hour.

Some will same to get new bearings and get them pressed in but that seemed too much of a hassle, considering that the assemblies are plug and play.

Just wanted to update the community.

Good news. That terrible noise was not coming from the front nor the cv axles, but the rear of the vehicle. Turns out a carriage bolt on my fuel skid was backwards and making contact with the drive shaft when flexed.

PSA for those with RCI fuel skids: make sure your carriage bolts are installed the right way.

Thanks again for everyone's help in trying to figure this thing out.

Grinding sound coming from the front end when turning is most likely a bent brake dust shield. When you turn under load, the rotor leans just enough to rub, but not when rolling straight. Crawl under there and bend it away from the rotor. And that will fix it.

But since its coming from the drive shaft at the rear of the truck, you can disregard the above.
