Default Rasping/grinding noise when turning and accelerating

Currently ive been having an issue when turning, not only is my wheel feeling stiff but i also get a grinding or rasping noise on occasion when turning under acceleration.

My thought is possibly the wheel bearings or CV axel?

Are you stuck in 4Hi Lock. When was the last time the T Case fluids and Diff lubes were changed?

Crawl under and do a visual inspection of the Half Shaft boots to look for tears or leaking grease.

Have you adjusted your Torsion Bar Keys at some point and went too far so that the front sits higher than 23.5" from fender lip to hub center?

I dont think i am in 4hi, but i will look.

I am a new owner, and the T case fluids were just done. I am thinking it is something to do with my boots as it only occurs when turning right.

Thanks for the leads.

The vehicle was in 4Hi lock, since changing it the noise has subsided considerably.

Issue resurfaced and then resolved again.

Culprit was Loose a heatshield on exhaust piping, bolt was missing.

thanks for the Advice!
