something grinds, especially around turns
So, my XJ has a bit of a grind while driving. It just doesn't feel as smooth as it should. It's especially noticeable when turning right. Is this wheel bearings? Where should I begin my investigation?

Do you mean the entire hub has to be replaced and not just the bearings? Is that something Autozone would have and how difficult as it?

If the unit bearing has failed it's not difficult, there are write-ups all over. Do both D & P sides and you might as well replace the axle shaft u-joints while you are there.
