Front end issue

Alright guess, I'm having issues with my front end, drivers side. On a road trip a month ago I noticed a slight vibration and noise. Yesterday I put the truck in 4 wheel drive and it was significantly worse. I checked the wheel bearing and it is fine. I'm thinking maybe a u joint or possibly my hub? Any ideas? Thanks

Be sure both hubs are locking and unlocking, if you have ESOF. Running with one hub locked can cause some vibrations. If it vibrates all the time in 4WD, the u-joints in your axles shafts may be shot.
