Grinding on front wheel is caused by 2 things. a bad or loose wheel bearing,or worn out brakes, have them both checked You might also want to check the level of fluid in the power steering reservoir - low or lack of fluid will also cause a noise (although more of a whining than a grinding).
This can also be caused by worn or damaged central velocity joints if the vehicle is front wheel or four wheel drive.

I have a 2000 ford expedition, when i drive it, it makes a grinding sound and bad vibration from front passenger side. It almost seems as if it is not completely out of 4wd.

Most likely you have a bad wheel bearing on the right front tire but at the same time you could have a stuck brake caliper on the front right as well you can tell if it's a bad brake caliper if the vehicle well rolling at about 5 miles an hour and shift it into neutral bad bearing if when you shift the vehicle turning the wheel hard to the right it kind of grinds you could also jack up the front right tire and turn the wheel rotating it to see if it is stiff

When do you hear this grinding noise , all the time or when braking or when turning one direction or another ? If when breaking ,the brake pads maybe worn down to nothing , metal contacting the brake rotor . If all the time an when turning ,could be a wheel bearing . Which every is the problem you need to have it check out right away .

My right passenger front brakes are making a grinding sound and when i make a right turn as well it grinds. what seems to be the problem?

A grinding noise can be no friction material on the pads, also a loose wheel bearing allowing the rotor to hit metal or caliper,a loose caliper can cause that noise,a bad wheel bearing can also due this . The sooner you get it look at the less it will be the longer the more it cost

Stuck with this problem

The front axle isnt disengaging completely. You need to probably replace the vaccum solinoid located right above your distributor on the firewall. To test you simply disconnect the two vaccum lines and splice them together. Then turn the 4wd on and see if all is normal.

I Think I have a front wheel bearing problem

Check wheel bering for play if there is no play , it doesn't mean that bearing is NOT bad its can still be dry and would be making that grinding sound you described Also check axle and see if boot is broken. That may be your problem also make sure that rotors are not gouged/scraped up and pads are good.Contact if you need more help and thanks for using FIX YA

Constant Grinding Noise fronm the left front

the hub bearing is bad.the reason it stops when you turn the wheel to the one side is because its taking presure off the bearing
