Stock 1987
 
A guy at work has a Bone Stock 1987 Jeep XJ
2.5 liter 4 Cylinder
115,000 Miles

His complaint is When he turns he hears a whoop whoop sound and it is only when turning. He does say it seems to have gotten louder since he has had his brake system replaced. He also stated there is a tiny bit of play when holding the wheel at 12 and 6.

He said he has also greased all fittings and the noise did not change.

In my opinion it sounds wheel bearing like, but I am looking for your opinions and repair suggestions.

Honestly a video with sound would be awesome. Could be U-joints, bearings, brakes.
