Got in my truck this morning and noticed a very prominent squeak/creak coming from the driver's side front fender. For the past few weeks I've had a grinding/humming noise when making a hard right turn that I figured to be the wheel hub or bearings. The creak is even louder and noticeable though. It happens mainly when making a right hand turn, but also when going over bumps and hills. I jumped on the step bar and jumped up and down, which reproduced the noise, and also could reproduce it by turning the wheel to the left or right while stopped. I'm running Rancho RSX shocks. I just did a quick visual inspection, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Any ideas of what to look for?
