Light grinding from front end when coasting..
Hey guys, still trying to pinpoint some of these strange noises coming from under me in the car.
The sound I'm currently trying to fix is a faint whirring/grinding noise coming from somewhere in the front of the car when I let off the gas. Sounds very close to a bad wheel bearing or like a brake pad rubbing against a rotor.
Its slightly noticeable when on the gas, but it increases about 80% when I take my foot off the gas and coast.
I changed the transfercase fluid today hoping that would be it. Still the same noise.
Let me know if these are any tell-tale signs of something yall are familiar with. Thanks so much.

Front unit wheel bearing or possibly front driveshaft or front axle shaft u-joints. Also check your front diff fluid level??
