Noise at low speeds

Was reading a thread about this and it is close to what I’m hearing in my 2012 tundra 4x4.
Rubbing parts, needle bearing, wheeling bearing, etc..
My question for you folks is... the wa, wa, wa noise on my truck only happens on cold mornings. Below 45 degrees.
Goes away after a few minutes as if grease is warming up or ?

 

Welcome

 

first make sure all the zerk fittings (if your truck has them) on the truck are full of lube- suspension, driveshaft, etc. Zerks never get any love, most people get oil changes, plugs, air filters and maybe a 4wd drain and fill service but OFTEN folks don't even know there can be other grease fittings that need attention. Try that, drive a few days and if you still have noises you can start looking at other items like bearings.

Another thing to consider- could be the tires flat spotting a little overnight. They can make a similar noise, heat up and noise goes away in a few miles of driving.

 

Good call on the flat spotted tires ~ that makes the most sense.

Some folks complain about the wamp, wamp, wamp noise but that's typically only at low speeds and it doesn't go away after the vehicle's been warmed up.
Could easily be the tires . . .

 

Thanks!
This is pretty cool being able to talk to others with some knowledge.
We all know what it’s like going to a random mechanic with a noise issue.
My truck needs tires so I assume it’s even more likely.
I’ll get them Monday and let you know.
Going to check the bearings for free play because I haven’t yet.
