Sounds more like a hub bearing. To check, jack up that side of the triuck, get under it and shine a light up to the back of the wheel. Have someone rock the wheel back and forth from the 12 and 6 oclock position. Watch for movement of all the parts, hub, cv shaft, ball joints and tie-rods. You should be able to spot whats moving.

You sure they were all greased?

Did you actually do the actual greasing?

If you took it to a shop to get it greased, they didn't grease everything. Some of the fittings take too much F#cking effort for those guys.

I do my own and have no problems, I use two mini grease guns. One has a hose with a straight end, and the other has a 90 degree end for getting in the tight places like the idler arm (skids plates get in the way) and the inner tie rod ends (driveaxles get in the way)
