I know thats not it. It has to be that bearing/hub assembly. I'm just curious how difficult a job its gonna be.

Welcome

I just replaced my wheel bearing on both sides. Its not that hard to do, I took my sweet a$$ time and was through in 3 hours. The entire hub unbolts from the back as an assembly. I used Timken hubs.

It could also be brake squeal. They may not be worn out, but sometimes it gets dry and dusty between the pad and the caliper if they weren't lubed well with the proper lube, and can squeal just going down the road. You could pull the wheel off and hose the caliper down really well with a can of brake cleaner and see if it stops. If it does, then I would just pull the caliper off and clean the back of the pads and relube them where they contact the caliper piston and put it back together. Just make sure you use actual disc brake lube. Most parts stores have little single use packets of them on the counter for a buck or so. Like little ketchup packets.

Shocking that a retard has a problem, Who the H ell buys a used hummer when the new ones brake down and rust thru if you look at them too hard.
BTW I hope your hummer burns down and takes your house with it. But not wile your in it I wish you no harm.

Don't you know that I don't really care about good grammar I'm just trying to piss Humvee owners off because they keep running into my wonderful 1988 festiva

I never thought of that. I'll start there next. The only reason I have my doubts about that is because the noise is intermittent and no one thing will cause it to start. Actually i take that back. If i'm making a sharp left turn going slow then i hear it and its very pronounced. Almost like two metal pieces being rubber together. Plus i'm sure my tires don't help the issue ouy any. Previous owner slapped on some Nitto Mud Grapplers. Damn truck sounds like an airplane! I hate these tires! My next mod after figuring this out is a nice long wearing set of AT's.
