BAD VIBRATION OUT OF FRONT END

My passenger side didn't make any noise cause it wasn't all the way out yet. I replaced it while I had the calipers and such off. The front left, is making a god awful rubbing noise about twice after startup. Then, it don't do it anymore. I've beat my truck to death. Taking curves WAYYY to fast. Hitting bumps really fast. Even spun the tires in 4 wheel drive. I can't get it to do it but after start up. Makes me think it isn't what I thought

i had my hub barrings get screwed (an inch of play in any direction if not more) and it didnt make a rubbing noise. it pulled really bad and made a sort of poping sound when i hit speed bumps in my friends appt complex (the kinda speed bumps that arnt wide but are tall and give u a good jolt) and it also squeeked when i turned at low speed (i think i only heard it at low speed bc of engine noise being less and having the windows down. hope that helps

Hey guys... first post here.
I'm new to the Powerstroke world and slowly learning as I'm ironing out the bugs with the truck I just bought. Picked up a 98 1/2 f-250 (newer body style) for 6,000 with known issues with the injector wiring and a (what I thought) bad D/S wheel bearing. I replaced the D/S injector harness as I've learned they corrode and go out. Seems to run better but still blows a lot of smoke in the morning... Thats for another post.
As for my front end gremlins pertaining to this post... Replaced the hub assy.($250) what I thought my noise was surely a bad wheel bearing. The noise would be some what of a vibration out of my left foot with an inconsistent high pitched whine that would seem to go away when it was wet out. After replacing the hub and rubber seal which was gone on the inside of the axle... the noise was still there. I then repacked the locking hub... no change. I surely thought those would be the 2 main active parts along side of the universal joint which when pulled felt to be ok. Only parts not replaced were the hub knuckle seal (metal ring behind hub) which seemed to be ok, and the ball joints.
I thought I narrowed everything down but could my knuckle seal really be the cause of this noise/vibration in the D/S front end? it seems to be getting worse and sometimes will stop briefly for a period of time when you hit a bump.
