PLEASE LOOK NEED ANSWERS!! HORRIBLE NOISE COMING FORM TRUCK!!!

My wheel is making a horrible grinding noise screeches thought it was just the wheel but i can feel it on my feet on the floor when it gets loud. Would I be able to feel it on my feet if it was just a rock or and bad pad???? Please tell me anything it could be dont want to do any more damage than could already be done.

it could be a ton of things.

bearings exploded
no more pad material left
pad could be getting low and the wear indicator could be rubbing
**** between the pad and rotor
the friction surface of the rotor could be gone
could be the ball joint stud rubbing on the wheel after your bearing exploded

...................... your gonna have to take it apart to tell.

I would take the wheel and tire off and take a good look at all the stuff Matt mentioned above.

how the hell do you know all that from what he said? a bunch of things can make bad noises in the front end.

if the rotor is loose then the wheel is loose which means the lug nuts aren't tightened all the way down genius.
