Grinding Noise Mystery

Trying to track down a grinding noise⬇️

So I’ve got a grinding noise coming from my front end somewhere. It’s more noticeable at slower speeds. Noise also gets drastically better when brakes are applied.
I can hear it when going straight, and it’s worse when turning left. Goes away when turning right.

A little about the truck:
-2006 sport 4WD w/4.0
-brand new hub assemblies last week
-brand new CV’s last week
-new CV axle seals
-new u-joints in rear driveshaft.

Any help?

Update: Just drove it lunch. The noise appears to mostly go away in 4WD.
