2007 Explorer 4.6 growling front end
Front end has a growling noise. When pulling a load it is worse. When the front end has more weight the noise and vibration is less. When traveling dead straight now growl really but turn the wheel a fraction of an inch either left or and a growl vibration. Turns left or tight fully bring on the same hard growl. Steering pump is pumping fine. Either steering box or front wheel bearing is my guess. Any ideas?

I checked the wheel bearing and then moved the short shaft. When I did that you could feel how rough the bearing was and moved in the differential. Not what I wanted but it is what it is and can now be fixed.
