2015 / 1500 5.3L:
When driving over 20 MPH this squeaking / chirping noise comes from the left front wheel. Brakes don’t change it. It gets faster as I go faster. It suddenly will stop for days even weeks then come back. And it’s quite loud. I’ve just had the hub assembly replaced and 20 minutes into the drive home it started. Every time I take it to a shop the noise won’t happen. . . I honestly feel crazy! No weird stealing issues- brakes I’m told are good. I have a video . . . the wind is a little loud but if you turn it up you can hear it chirping. Any advice or help is appreciated. No clunking or knocking noises.

Thanks for the video, it helps. It sounds like the bearing hub that was installed if defective though I would also check the brake pad thickness to make sure the screamers are not touching the brake rotor. I have included the correct method for replacing the bearing hub and front brake pads in case you need them or to see how the job is done. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Hello and thanks. The brakes were inspected and said to be in great shape. The hub assembly was replaced, and the noise was present before and after. :(

Okay, I would rotate the tires front to back to see if you have a cracked rim causing the noise. When the rims are off look for rust colored dust on the back or front of the rim. Let me know.
