Noise from the front end wheels
Hey everyone,
Looking to see what everyone thinks about the noise I'm having. Have a 2004 STX F150.
Truck has 98k miles on it, with brake pads replaced at 90k. Truck doesn't tow anything and generally gets me back and forth to work. Nothing else.
Tonight when pulling into work, one of the guys said the truck had a pretty nasty noise coming from the wheels. We drove it around for a few minutes later this evening and couldn't reproduce it. However, when I was coming home, while stopping for a light I noticed the sound. It almost sounded like a grinding noise. The weird thing was that I didn't hear it just when I pressed the brakes. I could also hear it after I let off the brakes and began to speed up. My buddy mentioned maybe warped rotors, but I'm not feeling any shaking in the pedal.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Grind? Wheel bearing.
If it's a 4x4 and it sounds like someone's put a baseball card in the spokes of the wheel, check the IWE system.
