When I excelerate sometimes I hear a grinding noise coming from the driverside front! What could this be?
I had some issues with my 2005 explorer left rear. It was making a creepy old door sound at low speeds and then a high pitched whisel at high speeds. That turned out to be a broken wheel bearing and had it replaced. Note each wheel has two wheel bearings. After that a new noise developed that sounded like metal scraping/ grinding metal. It end up being the brake dust cover got bent when they replaced the bearing and it was rubbing something, the fix for that was bending it so it didn't rub. I hope this helps.

Try lubing any bushings with a silcone spay lube i have ran into this before and the bushing on the sway bar links get dry and make a squeeking noise.

That's where I'd go first. check with driveline unloaded (neutral with wheels off the ground.)

wheel bearings are worn out on the front, i had the same problem in my 2004 ford explorer just recently.

have you checked the ball joints it may be the struts but i would check the ball joints i can walk you through all of this if you need me to even the repairs and do not buy any parts untill you get back to me cause they will try and sell you the whole strut assembly and you do not need that
