Loud Squealing noise front end HELP

[Nardling]

After going mudding and doing some decent off-roading I hopped back on the pavement only to hear that every time it accelerate I hear a squealing noise. It started out not so bad then got a little worse until I pulled over and washed behind the wheels and the brake pad. It seems to be coming from the front drivers side wheel. After washing it, it went back to being not as bad, but is still squealing when I accelerate.

Checked my stuff. Me and my friend didn't find anything unusual expect of a groov in the brake pad. We spun the wheel when we jacked up the truck and didn't make any unusual sounds expect for the rotor scraping against the rims which was minor. It wasn't the sound I've been hearing while driving. The sound has now progressed to being a little more noticeable. Friend told me the good news was he didn't find anything wrong from just looking at everything so it probably wasnt serious, but I don't want to be driving with that awful noise. Any ideas?

When is the last time you greased your u-joints? I had a weird squeal pop-up after I got my runner that continued to get worse over time. I greased all of my driveshaft u-joints and it went away.

This may not be your problem, but it's an easy place to start.

I purchased my runner a year ago and have never grease do hem. I'm not sure when they were greased before my purchase but I'm going to look into it. It happened as soon as I got done mudding, would the mud mess up or have ane defect on the joints? and thanks for the in put

You sure you don't have a rock or something wedged in between the rotor and backing plate?

Now that I think of it that would make a lot of sense along with the squealing there has been a noise like something is being rolled around hitting metal, I haven't checked it out but I will soon. Thanks for the input
