I have a problem that I don't know how to diagnose and I need some help. This is going to be a novel but every detail counts when figuring out the problem right?
I parked the truck for about 45 minutes today and when I left and took a right turn it made this horrible screeching, grinding, roar. I pulled over and checked under the truck (especially the right front since that's where the noise was coming from) and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. So I went on about my day and the noise didn't happen again until I barely turned the wheel for a right hand curve. Straightened it out and the noise went away. Parked it for about an hour. Then when I finally got in it again it made the horrible noise and wouldn't stop. I slowed down and the noise got quieter and quieter until I was at a complete stop. Sat there for a minute and took off again and the truck started thumping at me constantly. If I sped up, it got louder. If I slowed down, it get quieter and stop when I stopped. The noise has been constant since then. Any idea what this could be? I've been told rotor and the axle. But I don't trust their truck advice so here I am. I replaced the right front wheel bearing/barring (which spelling is correct? Haha) back in the summer and I just put new tires on a week ago. I wouldn't think it's the new tires though since I've been driving like crazy since I got em.
I got a video of the noise but you can barely hear it over my keys and knife rattling around. Plus I dropped the f bomb a couple times so it's not a good idea to post it.
Thanks for sticking with my novel. Please help.

Wheel bearing. Jack truck up and check for play

Jack the right side of your truck up and see if you can wiggle the wheel. If so than its your hub/wheel bearings.
He beat me to it lol

How could it possibly be out already?

Sorry if we don't know your truck's maintenance history but please explain

Errr... It was right there the whole time lol

Well you could not check the wheel bearing then and it be bad. You asked a question. What brand did you put in?

Even if its not. The best way to search for the noise is jack the truck up. Spin the wheel, turn the wheels and spin. Wiggle the wheel from top and bottom then from side to side. Shouldnt be play when doing that. Go through all the steering stuff to check for play. But honestly it sounds like bad wheel bearing.

I don't remember the brand. But after driving around for awhile last night I think the weights in my wheel have come off and it's unbalanced. When the shop put em on they told me one was hard to balance but they got it done. I'm pretty sure they messed something up. I'm gonna take the truck back on Monday for them to check and fix. If that's not the problem Im going to check the hub

If that's not the problem have fun chasing your wheel down the highway. Weights will not make a grinding noise. They will make your wheel shake. Stop being lazy and check your wheel bearing before you loose a wheel.

You asked a question but for some reason choose not to listen to people.

Wheel weights don't screech, nor care if the wheel is straight or turned.

 

[KyChevyGirl]

They will screech if they are in the process of popping off. It's not being lazy, it's going with the most reasonable answer first. I don't think I have to worry about losing a wheel. Thanks though.

I would check the bearing as well. Explain to me how they would screech if they are in the process of popping off? They are either on or off, no in between.
