add should not really make noise. Allthe hub is, is a plate that fits over the axle shaft and bolts on. More than likely something else is making the noise. (controls arms , cv shaft, ball joints, anything front suspension)

Well, I found out what was making the noise,It's the spindle.It was a $90 job at the dealer.They just regreased it and the noise stopped.The guy said 90% of the time you truck makes that noise then that's what it is.

Mine makes that noise as well. It started happening after I got into an accident and my left control arm, brake caliper, sway bar link, and rotor broke. I had those replaced. The 4wd drive works, but after I take it out of 4wd, it makes that noise for a few days and then it goes away. It does it mainly in speeds under 50mph. I always wondered what it was and it's funny that you mention the spindle because when my mechanic was changing the front brakes he mentioned that the spindle looked bent. I thought it looked a little off as well. Could this cause the problem? Any other suggestions.
