If the sound changes when you turn, chances are you are right, a wheel bearing. Let me know what you find when you have it scanned.

My 05 Ford Explorer does the same thing if I go a little too fast around a curve and get some body roll. When it takes the weight off the tire that SOB's "autofour wheel dr" kicks in and KaBlam. My kids spilt somethin sticky on my traction control button and with it pushed down my auto 4wd is disengaged. Temporary fix

Have you checked the axle bearing hubs in the front it sounds like we have a bearing going out allowing the wheel and ABS sensor to have problems.

Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when replacing the bearing hub.

Is this grinding noise occurring while the yellow warning light is on? Is it a metal-on-metal grinding or the buzzing sound of the anti-lock system activating? Have you had the diagnostic fault codes read and recorded?

If abs has a problem it won't let 4wd work, have it scanned for codes. Some auto parts can scan for abs.

Have the computer scanned and check the 4wd actuator on the transfer case to make sure it is getting power. If it is, check it for operation.
