Grinding noise, please help?
Hi 2004 F250 CrewCab 2wd. Grinding noise whenever moving which seems to come from LF wheel. I replaced the bearings, races, and seal, and packed well with grease. Had already dome this on RF a few months back. Noise still there. Thought maybe tranny, but noise is there in neutral too. When I changed the bearings on LF, noticed the end of the spindle was a little blue, and somewhat scored, but not too bad, and I thought with new bearings shouldn't be an issue. I didn't have a procedure for tightening or adjusting the nut, so I just tightened until wheel was harder to turn then backed off a little till wheel turned freely with no play. Any other causes like driveshaft bearing or something else??? Thanks!

LOL! Yeah, I don't use the truck much, but have been lately, so the noise started to bug me again.
