u joints are going bad.chattering bad,especially when you hit a bump at moderate speeds. its the left front.i got 58000 miles on the truck,replaced the hubs earlier the spring.roters and pads at the same time i did the hubs.

Tell him to be careful putting the axles back it the front ,remember the inner seals way inside the front diff ,alot of people don't know that they are there, an damage them sliding the axles back in.
Yes the needle bearings or front wheel bearings will cause the symptom (of rumble strip) chatter when hitting a bump.There should be no side play or harshness in the hub bearings.
chk your rotor runout also
