Hey all, trying to diagnose an issue with my truck right now.

Symtoms: low pitched grinding/ groaning noise from the front passenger wheel.
Sounds like it's frequency depends on revolutions of the wheel, when the brake is applied the sound is constant.
Happens more when turning left.
It's embarrassing, lost friends because of it.


Possible issues(suggested to me):
Seized caliper(caliper is not getting very hot after long drives, stays the same temp as driver side)
Mud/stuff in the mud shield
hub?
wheel bearing?


What do you guys think? I'm pulling it apart today.

 

out of you possible issues I would guess hub/wheel bearing.

if it where a seized caliper the truck would be pulling one side or the other; especially when wet.
Sand or mud I would have to assume you have already preasure washed the backing plates at a car wask to eliminate that issue.

 

Hub and or CV joint if noise increases on turns.

 

I've heard CV joints on D2s are prone to failure. I offroad the truck pretty hard on a regular basis so is there a good chance it's CV or hub or both?

 

I have a 99 that has seen more hard trails then most people think about and my CV joints have held up very well, D2's are not prone to them failing but it can happen.
