Hey guys I hear a like whining/groaning/grinding coming from my right drivers side wheel I'm wondering if you think it's a hub assembly, axle shaft or maybe something else it's usually when I turn and get louder and stuff with more speed

The hubs on a 4X4 are not serviceable. They are a sealed unit.

You should replace both sides at the same time, since they are likely the same age.

I doubt it is u-joints.

I'm experiencing the same type of sound, but from the rear driver side wheel. I'm thinking its the wheel bearing.

It started happening right after my lift install.
