Anyone have a clue what might be the problem on my 2003 expedition xlt? Front end is humming like i have mud tires on it, it stops when turning right. I thought it might be the tires, so i replaced them (NOPE not it) then i had alignment checked (NOPE not it) i just put on new hub bearings on both sides and (NOPE not it either) im tired of guessing and need some expert opinions. and one other thing i need help with, I dont know if it is coincendence but my ABS light came on shortly after the humming noise started. after putting on new bearings i thought the light would go off but it didnt. your advice is much appreciated

Mud deflectors ?

This may sound simplistic and you probably already looked but are any of your wheel arch, water and mud deflectors (dunno what they are really called by Ford) hanging free and rubbing the tire and then when you make your turn you move the tire off it ?

One of my little plastic retainer clips came out one time and let one of those side shields rub the inside of the tire.

Just a thought.
