The problem seems to be at its loudest when first driving the car and moving from first to second gear. I do not hear it when I shift into Park or Neutral and rev the engine. It is a loud whining sound. The wheels are difficult to turn lately too, so i was thinking it might be the power steering pump, but don't know if that is it considering I dont hear the noise in Park or Neutral.

MasterWith the lift kit, the most likely cause would be wheel bearing wear. Lifts put an abnormal load on the hubs and bearings, and premature wear out is common. However, it's only a theory - only someone first hand hearing the noise can give you a good diagnosis.

RookieJust had both front hubs replaced in August. Any other thoughts?
