Clunking and squeeking noise in front end
I have a clunking noise on the front drivers side. It happens when i turn the wheel either way and when i'm riding down the road just going straight i have a squeeking noise on the same side. I just put new brakes on and everything looking fine. I took it to the Dodge dealer here in MD and they said they can't find anything wrong with it, they said it was because of the big rotors on the truck!!! Has this happened to anyone else or do you know what it could be. My feeling is that it is a wheel bearing but i only have 50K on the truck

Front End Noise
I came across this site while researching a problem I'm having with my '05 Ram. Its a 3500 4x4 dually.
Recently its making an odd noise when turning. Its sounds like a rub or metal on metal sound that is intermitten. It doesn't matter if the brakes are applied or not. I had my son idle the truck while turning so that I could walk outside the truck to diagnose where the sound is coming from. It sounds like its coming from the left front hub. When I put my fingers on the center hub cap I could feel the vibration when the noise happened. It doesn't matter which way the wheels are turned for the noise to happen. And of course it doesn't make noise when the wheels are pointed straight.
This thread got me thinking that its the u-joint at the hub. I crawled up under there and I don't see a grease zert fitting.
I wish I could describe the sound better for you guys...
Any advice would be apprecated. Oh, and the truck has 89K on it for mileage. Hardly a lot for these trucks....
If it is the u-joint, is this a tough repair for the driveway?
Thanks for your help!
