Got a squeak happening when rolling. Stops when I step on the brake or when I turn left or right. Brakes are fairly new (13k miles). Just put 04 factory rims on it and the squeak started soon after. Has gotten louder over the last hundred miles or so. Checked rim fitment and torque on the lugs and they're fine. Even rotated them around and no change.

Brakes? Hub? Bearing? Never taken one apart, but thinking about trying this-

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Unit bearing assembly. 115$ at autozone and an easy swap requiring no special tools. You will likely be able to feel the play in the bearing when you jack up the wheel and rock it.

Thanks for all the help, but....

...after parking the truck for a week cuz I was afraid to drive it and didn't have the time to work on it.....set aside the whole day today to attack it. Broke into it at o'dark thirty expecting the worst and it turn out to be a loose lugnut causing the cap to squeak.

Went fishing the rest of the day!!
