Ended up only finding one of the lower balljoints starting to dry rot. But other then that he didn't see anything that was rubbing. ( he was under the truck looking for a good 15 minutes. ) only happens if it's going ( as said in the video ) 5mph - 10mph. After school I'll get under it and look at the cv and the sway bar ends. Anyway. @ the op. What condition are the backing plates in? ( dust shields ) if they are rusted maybe some rust is rubbing on the rotor?

They are pretty rusted. I'll have to recheck that when I get off work. Thanks

no problem. If you want to replace them I can post a link to them if you want? They aren't required. They just cool the brakes faster.
