Wheel pulling and metallic noise

What is your question?

A couple days ago I noticed my steering would suddenly pull to the left or right while driving at random times. Not a serious pull, but enough to be noticeable. This wasn't related to braking as I mostly noticed it while accelerating. Today it sounds like theres a metallic noise coming from the passenger front side. It may be coincidence, but these issues started happening after I used 4x4 for the first time on my used (new) truck. Tire pressure is good and I don't notice any unusual wear on the tires. Ive checked the steering response underneath the truck by jiggling the wheel to the left and right and everything seems to be responding fine. Can anyone give me some ideas on what the problem may be? Thanks!

What makes this problem better or worse?

consistent problem as of late
