Whirring noise while turning

[dgoodhue]

My Wife's 2021 JLU makes a whirring noise coming from the front end while turning at lower speeds (5-15mph or so). It might make the noise higher speeds but I might not be able to hear it. Her Jeep has 37K miles on it and it has been happening since ~20k miles. I looked around assuming something needs to be greased but I can not seem to figure it out.

Jack the front up and turn the wheels by hand. This will check to see if it's simply the dust shield for the brakes making contact with the rotor.

If that's not it: Put the Jeep on jack stands (all 4 corners), turn traction control off, go to 4HI, and then put it in drive (@idle) and see if the noise if there. Turn the wheel back and forth.

If the noise is there, while wearing gloves, slowly bring one wheel to a stop using your hands. If the noise goes away, then you need a new hub bearing or u-joint for that side. You'll be able to tell which one once you can duplicate the noise. If you still need help after this, PM me and we can go through things on FaceTime.
