Front End noise's

I have a 03 F350 4x4 7.3 PSD. 75000 miles. I still have a grinding noise in, what sounds like, the drivers side front wheel but I'm not sure about that. I've replaced the ball joints and u-joints on both sides. In the process of doing this I also checked the needle bearings and wheel bearings\hubs and they all looked good. I also cleaned and regreased the hubs. To pinpoint the noise I would like to actually take the 4wd hubs out of both wheels and try driving it in 4wd and see if I still get the grinding noise. That way I could elimanate the hubs and see if the noise comes from a different area of the front -end. Given that the front axles are not supported by the 4x4 hubs, does anyone know if I can actually do this with out screwing anything up?Thanks, Jim

Does it go away when you engage 4wd?

No. Sorry. The noise only shows up when you put it in 4WD. I don't have the the noise at in 2wd.
