Check the wheel bearings, if its not the wheel bearings then its your axles. A grinding noise would be a sign of bad wheel bearings. If the rear end is off the ground grab the top and bottom of the tire. Can you wiggle it REALLY good? If so bad wheel bearings.

yeah a friend said its probably wheel bearings, ive got everything off except the hub, it looks like i need a allen key (big one) to do this is this correct, and do the wheel bearing come as a whole to the hub or do i buy them seperately.

To remove the wheel bearings you are going to need a special puller to get them off.

Hello my question is I have a 2002 ford explorer Im hearing a loud constant noise when accelerating and breaking just wondering if its my differential and do i have to replace it if its having problem

Noise usually indicates worn part. Lubricating it can help, but it won't solve the problem. Once a bearing starts to wear, it develops a flat spot on the bearing. If the wear is significant, rotating the tires individually off the ground will sometimes be enough to indicate if it's the wheel bearing ( you can hear/feel it at only one tire ) or a differential bearing ( you can hear/feel it on both sides of the same axel )

A bearing in the transmission or the transfer case will sound central to the vehicle...much easier to identify if a passenger in the vehicle can try to pinpoint the sound while the vehicle is being driven by someone else.

Wheel bearing

If grinding noise is heard coming from front side, lift up both the front wheels and rotate the wheels one by one to listen to the sound, if any. If a noise is heard, replace the front wheel bearings as a set.
If the front wheels do not produce any abnormal noise when rotated, lift down the front vehicle. Lock the front wheels with blocks, release the hand brake. lift up the rear wheels and try to listen to the abnormal noise. If the noise is heard, replace the differential bearings and seals. Top up the differential oil to the mark.
