2013, 4x4, 270k miles
Shortly after purchasing my truck, I had a rubbing/humming/grinding type noise for about a year or so, which was slowing getting worse as time went on. This noise would happen at slow and fast speeds, turning left and right, etc. I would also feel this in the steering wheel and pedal. After some research, I determined it was the wheel hubs and/or an IWE issue. This never affected drivability but after 2 years with the truck, and dealing with the irritating sound and feel coming from the front end, I decided to replace both wheel hubs and IWE's.
These were replaced no more than 2 weeks ago and while the main noise is no longer there, I can still feel this type of rubbing or very mild grinding while driving. No noise, just what I can feel through the steering wheel and pedal. This happens when I start to turn the steering wheel in either direction. I really feel it when I hit 25 mph or more, and the noise seems to be more of a 'rotational' noise. I don't feel much of a difference with putting it in 4wd either. The truck drives great otherwise.
Could there still be an issue with either the wheel hubs or IWE's? Or is there something else at play that could be creating this type of mild rubbing? ie: front axle, front diff, bearings, etc. I had this done at the dealership and would like to troubleshoot a bit more before possibly reaching back out to them.
Happy to provide any additional details.
Thanks!
