Front Rubbing Noise
I have a 2008 f-350 6.4l 4x4. Lately when i drive the truck hard and go from a stop light or stop sign there is a loud rubbing noise like something is stuck or held on, i can feel a vibration. Its definitely the front driver side. Its not the brakes because it feels like nothing is holding the truck back, just that the truck is pushing the parts free. It is only when the truck is run hard, maybe something expands when it gets hot?
Im no expert but I'm guessing its the hub. I know i have to replace the outer dust seal that broke a month ago, so i will be taking the hub off anyways.
The truck rarely sees mud or any off roading
What do you guys think? I don't think the hub is supposed to go this early

To check the hubs. When you stop get out and put your ear down next to the hub. Do you hear any crackling? Just like your exhaust would do?
Next...and be careful put your finger on the hub and check the temps. Go to the other side and compare.
After a run it maybe hot but should not be so unbearable unless it is shot.
I just had one replaced at about 53K. Was under warranty.
