I have a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT that has started to make a bad noise when the stairing wheel is turned and when backing up , it feels if the parking brake is on, took it to the dealer they had for a day and could not find anything wrong. Took to my friend and he can't find whats wrong, fist it was the front end bearing, the rear axle then transfer case but still nothing, it sounds like something right under my foot is grinding, inflated the tires and it stop it for a day help !!!

Sounds like tire rub issue, as inflating tire solved the issue for a short while possibly that the tires placed on vehicle maybe incorrect size width/height, check tire size, look in wheel well for areas of possible rubbing.

Would sooner think wheel bearing,should be able to hear the noise or feel play in the bearing if jacked up. Abs light on? often a bad bearing will get metal in the sensor and turn on the ABS light also.
