1997 Ford F150 Supercab, 5.4, about 102,00 mi. Experiencing some wheel noise; sounds like a "thump, thump, thump" as you go down the road. Changes in number of thumps as speed changes. Does not change when turning, or braking. Took the front wheel off after jacking it up; spin hub, and it does not seem to turn freely all the way around, seems to rub at one spot, indicating to me it is not a tire issue. Does not seem to change when using brakes, so does not sound like a brake issue. Bearing was supposedly changed about a year ago. Ideas??

make sure your dust guard isnt grabbing and snapping causing the sound.
