Front wheel noise FX4
2007 FX4 Supercrew with 6.5' bed...about 6000 miles.
When turning slow I have a clicky/squeaky type noise from what I think is my left wheel. I pulled the center caps and it seemed to go away but since I dont notice it all the time im not 100% sure.
This might be dumb question but here goes anyway..Would the stock wheels flex enough while turning at idle to produce a squeak at the center cap?
Anybody else have this problem and come up with a solution?

about 10,000 miles back i had a right front wheel bearing go out on my truck, sounded like i needed brakes. took wheel off, nothing, didnt need brakes. discovered this problem when i was at the beach 400 miles from home, took it to the local dealer at the beach, they had my truck for 4 hours, they found nothing. drove it home, took it to my purchasing dealer, they found the bad bearing, replaced it, and no problems since. Just some food for thought bout your dilemma
