My 03 XLT 4wd is making a Grinding/vibrating sound when turning. It seems like its coming from the passenger side. I got under it and everything looks/feels ok. It does it in 2wd and also in 4wd. Any ideas?

Vehicle is all stock. Could it be a CV joint? Is there a way to check it without pulling everything apart?

do a search on youtube for wheel bearing check... basically you jack up the front tire to let the suspension sag with the tire off the ground then rock the tire... can't remember if you rock it with your hands at 3 n 9 oclock is for wheel bearing to tie rods... then another side is for the other one....

yes lift with full sag, hands at 3 and 9 rock the tire, my guess is the wheel bearing also,
