anyone know the problem here?

Origionally was told my ball joint and tie rod needed replaced.

Saved up for a year to do that, when i went in was told everything was perfect from 3 different shops. Sounds like someone was trying to pocket money off me or some how god sent the repair god my way.

Reason i was so easy going on believing this was because of my tire wear and the sound i heard from my truck. Felt the sound was from the front so it was easier to believe.

Before my life got my rotors sanded, they said that was the problem. I didn't realize they were so cheap to replace yourself, so figured sanding would be fine for now.

Felt sound was quieter but its just as loud as it was. When get the tires installed they said my old tires were mounted poorly. Makes sense now to the tire wear.

Also took a friend out with me one night to a church parking lot and we found the sound seemed to actually be coming from the rear passenger tire (teaches me not to investigate it more in detail before). Last night took a different friend out to actually video it this time (happens to be a church lot as well different church, hah)

Anyone know what the problem might be, possible solutions, and ballpark on price? I haven't the slightest clue as ive never dealt with working on trucks and can only hear it when i break slightly.. Here it is

Definetely a different sound...Is the sound present when the truck is not moving and you jump on the tailgate?

the tire shop who said your tire were mounted poorly did they say what made them say that loose lug nuts , balance ?????? that statement just doesn't any sense. if it was a wear problem then you might have a front end problem it sure sounds like something is crying out to be lubed.

A cracked wheel or egg-shaped lug nut holes will make that sort of noise (rotational), also possible issue with the E-brake on that disk ??

leaf springs creaking noise, clean them up and deep creep on them, search for the same fix on the 04-08 trucks

Sounds like the leaf springs are either coming loose or need lubed. See if it makes the noise when you stand on the bumper and make the *** bounce

He mentioned the tires weren't balanced properly and something else with that. Nothing on the truck though.

I will research on this and try to see if the solutions do work
