What kind of noise? Do you have any vibration when driving? When braking? Need some more details to help.
Sounds like a bad wheel bearing, if it is replace both sides up front.
tie rods are usually quiet ,a clunk or squeak can be a sway bar bushing, a rotating sound could be tire,wheel, or bearing, and sometime a caliber
Sounds like a bearing. I replaced the entire hubs on mine the hardest part was getting the old one to break free. Overall not a hard job. Mine is an 03 and I did them last summer
Check your brake pads also. You said a slight pull? Besides the bearing maybe being bad, the pulling could be worn pads also. As long as your tearing down the wheel area, it wouldn't be much more to replace the pads if warn and resurface the rotors.
Mine just started doing the same thing, left turn only, sound from front passenger side sounds like whirring noise, like fuel pump only faster and higher pitch when touching the brakes. Did you ever get an answer on your issue?
My Brakes go too much down when I applied the Brakes , Why ?
The warning bell inside my Avalanche do not sound, Why ?
