Are you sure you have proper alignment? And any vibrations or just the howling noise?

Drive for 15 minutes and (using an IR thermometer) check the wheel hub temps of both front wheels. You *might* have a dragging caliper, which is VERY common on Fords

Little vibration but a howling sound really loud when u turn the wheel like if the left side gets the weight almost like a bad bearing i change the vacuum hub that goes on the back of the wheel hub too

Mine was like yours too, a howling noise, turned out to be the hub bearing itself. Try that, or what Alex said with the caliper.

But doesn't make any sense why I would hear it on the driver side when the problem is on the passenger front

It's probably just really loud, loud enough where you can hear it from the drivers side. Did you get it fixed?

Hit your hub with some PB blast and if it goes away. U need hub barrings. That's how I found mine.

What does he need help with is the hub all one or is the bearing separated
