jack up front left on level ground ,support and chock rear wheels and set park brake ---look and check the cv axle for leaks,tears or damage -put in neutral and watch axle should turn smoothly turn steering wheel to left and rotate tire again watching axle if their is binding or grinding or studder movement than axle is damaged and needs to be replaced
Does the sound happen when applying the brake...or consistent with driving...no braking? I hope the shop did not miss a scratched wheel bearing...(if noise is constant) When braking indicates bad break parts:(
If the noise only happens when you are moving, and it changes with the speed of the truck, its something that is connected to the wheels. Road speed does not affect suspension noises like ball joints and spindles. So it would be something like the brakes, axle joints or bearings, or something in the differential where the axles come together. If the truck is 4wd you have front hub bearings behind the brake rotors, and regular bearings if it is 2wd.
I had some issues with my 2005 explorer left rear. It was making a creepy old door sound at low speeds and then a high pitched whisel at high speeds. That turned out to be a broken wheel bearing and had it replaced. Note each wheel has two wheel bearings. After that a new noise developed that sounded like metal scraping/ grinding metal. It end up being the brake dust cover got bent when they replaced the bearing and it was rubbing something, the fix for that was bending it so it didn't rub. I hope this helps.
Probably a wheel bearing. The cold makes the grease thicker and less lubricant. This particular make may have a hub assembly instead of separate bearings.
