it a 97 exploroer with 130k on it and it just started to make a consitant rubbing noise when moving. It awd with a 5.0 I don't know if these trucks have bearings or not that need to be greased thats all I can really explain untill I look at it and its support to snow tommorow
 






It's probably the bearing. You have to replace the whole hub because the bearing isn't serviceable. It could also be worn brake pads. Both pretty easy to diagnose. The hub should spin very freely. It won't won't make the noise when you take the weight off of it. If you feel anything at all with the wheel off it's probably the hub. It's pretty easy to fix.
