    I have a humming noise coming from front left on my ‘17 TRD 4x4 that’s most noticeable at 57 mph. The stealership repaired/replaced the front left hub assembly however the noise is still there. My truck has a 3” lift, ECGS bearing, and no diff drop. The lift and bearing was done 30k miles ago. No play in the wheel when tire is lifted of the ground. Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts?

    wheels might have lost a balance weight, mine are missing a few and she hums real good at like 40-45 mph. Try moving the wheel to different spot and see if the noise follows it.

    Since others have said wheel weight try moving the tire to see if noise follows or use spare to see if it goes away entirely

    Tire rotation was my first instinct. I’ve rotated my tires every 2500 miles, noise still persists on front left. No vibration felt on steering wheel, only floor board at 57 mph. CV boot is good. Maybe CV joint? Gonna try the spare tire to rule out existing tires. Thanks on suggestions…

    does it make the same noise if you turn the steering wheel left/right while holding 57mph?

    a wheel bearing can make noise long before it has enough play to feel when on alift and pushed/pulled by hand

    I just had the front left wheel hub assembly repaired/replaced at the dealership and the noise got slightly better. The noise/vibration is most noticeable and loudest at around 57 mph. The noise is constant and no different when turning the the wheel. No change when in 4WD.
