    Could be a belt coming loose in 1 of the tires. Try rotating them and see if there's any difference. Did you torque the bearing to the right specs? Usually you can tell a bearing is going bad by the opposite of what you said. When a bearing is going bad and you go around a turn it gets louder because you are putting a load on it. Good luck, let us know how you make out.

    well not sure if the 1500's have a axle joint on the front like the 2500's do, but had several go on my 2500's over the yrs causing that issue
    but if it does, maybe thats it?
    or could be an axle, as they wear they can go out of balance and when turning they can add stress to one side!
    good luck

    it was the passenger bearing. had no play in it what so ever and like i said no noise on the jack. it must have been adding a load on the left turn took the slop out of the bearing causing the noise to stop.



    thanks for the help guys.

    well Glad you got it figured out, and not a major problem, there I think more time consuming than anything to change !

    Glad it worked out for you Ross. Replaced both wheel bearings (not myself) on my truck over the last couple of years. The last one I thought for sure I'd lose that tire on the last big turn headed to get it fixed. When it decided to go...it went fast!
