On my 96 k1500 I have had a noise for quite some time. I wrote it off as tire noise but recently it has gotten worse and started vibrating.
I originally could tell it was somewhere between the back of the cab and the pedals. So I started by checking the u joints. I found one ujoint that had some slop in it and the other u joint wouldn’t hardly move.
I replaced those last weekend and now the noise only be coming from the front. I drive 40 miles of the same highway everyday for work. The first time I really looked into it I could turn slightly right and the noise would get louder and be quieter going left I thought for sure was a wheel bearing.
The last couple days it’s not near as loud and I can only sometimes replicate the noise when turning and sometimes it even seems to be from the back of the truck again.
I don’t know that I would call it a grinding noise but more of a droning woooowwwwoooowwwwoowwwoww noise. My tires aren’t wore abnormal and they were rotated about 1200 miles ago and that didn’t seem to change anything at that time.
Tomorrow if I have time I will jack it up and check out the front left tire but I wanted to see what you guys might all think too.
Thanks
