I recently noticed a terrible noise from my front end as well. Dropped off my wife and she told me it sounded pretty bad even when I was driving away.
I got home and jacked it up, didn't have any play from 12 and 6 on either side. Though I did spin them, drivers spun freely while the passenger side only made a couple of revolutions going very slow.

Sound like a hub/bearing issue?

Also, are the hubs the same from 2wd to 4wd?

Thanks
possibly, did you check your brakes? if the caliper is sticky that could be why it doesn't spin as well. The 2wd and 4wd hubs are different

Possibly brakes grabbing as well.

Thanks for the info guys

When spinning it forward and backwards I heard a little noise but didn't notice it sticking.
This caliper was replaced about a year ago, that original one was seized.

Thanks Double
Does anyone have a part number for a 2wd front hub?

After getting washed out all weekend, I didn't get to do a thing.
I did go out today with my wife and we both were pretty shocked at how bad it sounds. More at lower speeds but, it was loud. Almost like a hollow metal can noise and some grinding. Its more noticeable when turning too.
I'm going to order new hubs tonight. They were only parts I did not replace when I rebuilt my front end.

More wonderful news, after getting washed out last weekend the same is happening this weekend and for the rest of the week and on top of that, there's another hurricane heading our way. Yay.

Not back on track.
Need new rotors and pads, will order them this week.
I'm looking for a little info on the sway bar end links. Mine have some slack in them but can not be tightened anymore. One thing I remember with my 2dr was when I lowered the front I had to get new shorter end links. Does this apply to the NNBS as well? If so does anyone have the part numbers for the correct end links?
I know for sure, then ends links are some of the noise in my front end. Not all haha.
I'm seriously debating about getting new calipers to.
Has anyone tried aftermarket calipers? Or, are they all rebuilt OE calipers with a company name painted on them?
Thanks
