when i start driving my front left hub starts making this horrrible noise that sounds like its grinding.... but when i turn it sounds like the wheel is about to fall off.. so .... i just put a 3 inch lift and 33inch tires .. do you think that that has anything to do with it... i have heard of when disco put lifts on they start to have alot of drive problems so ... well if anyone has an idea i would appriceate it thanks....

Did you adjust the steering stops? You're probably scuffing the tire against the radius arm. But that would only be at full steering lock.

Might also be swivel ball innards. Dump the swivel oil and see what you find.

I hope it has to do with your tires.

Check your wheel bearings.

i second the wheel bearings

have you ever packed them

anyways my bearing completely came apart and had to be blow torched off my axel stub.

well that set me back a pretty penny

if it is the bearing look for scraps on the axel stub because if there is any then it will cause the same sound and problem to happen again
