Check the Brakes first. Are the pads worn down to metal. Is the Caliper Stuck (open)?
Raise and Support the Front and Rear (because of AWD) of the vehicle.
Remove the left front tire. Make sure the Parking Brake is engaged. Place the lug nuts back on the lug studs. Place the Vehicle in Neutral. Turn the wheel (without the tire on) and listen for where the noise is coming from. A bad bearing will feel rough (not smooth) and sound 'crackly' when trying to turn the one wheel. Make sure it is not from the CVJ.
If not smooth: Remove and Replace the wheel bearing. And yes you can do it yourself saving you about $150-$200 dollars. It is a bolt-on (4 bolts) bearing. Bolt Heads should be on the back side of the steering knuckle.
Remove the Brake Caliper, Caliper Brace, and Rotor.
Remove the 4-bolts (turn the wheels left and right to better access these bolt heads) and slip the bearing off the Axle. You may have to hit the bearing to loosen it.

02 dodge ram 1500 stuck in 4wd low, won't shift back into 2wd

what are tires touching, ICE or dirt or pavement
part time 4wd is for offroad or ice/snow
so doing that all wrong it now wants to do bind up crab walk
and causes damage.doing so and is super risky driving,like that.
the cure is simple put 1 or more tires on dirty or ICE
then dead crawl out of 4wd to 2wd.

what transfer case is there IDK.????????
but the users guide tells when not to use 4wd read that first.
no mater what car it is, 4wd/awd

Jeep liberty not disengageing

no year car told wow.
2002-2012 over two generations, internally designed the KJ (2002-2007) and KK (2008-2012)

Doing this wrong damages the transfer case chain
the part time 4wd must not be used on pavement,(rule 1 violation)
so now to undo this error
easy get 1 tire on dirt/sand/gravel/ice or grass) an shift to 2wd
going 1mph or slow (crawling) only, be gentle to the transfercase
doing this all wrong, feel the seering wheel fight you , well you are doing this wrong, using 4wd wrong, 4wd is for offroad or ice./snow
not dry nor even water wet pavement.
learn now part time 4wd works
the word PART means only slipper roads, dirt or ice
full time means all surfaces full time. or AWD.
easy to learn.full time has center differential top do that.
or a clutch there to slip preventing part time lockup. or limits damage doing so.

I have a 2012 dodge caravan, has a bit of vibration under driver floor, and makes a loud whining or humming noise while accelerating.

Check the wheel bearing. If over or under torqued, it may give problems. Check the drive shaft is not bent from hitting a large stone whilst moving.

2007 dodge caliber rt slap stick put new tires on 3 months ago driver side front tire is worn cant let off wheel car pulls bad to the right side of the road

The popping could be from a bad CV axle joint, or a bad wheel bearing. Better get checked, sounds very worn. Raise the wheel on a jack and watch for play. Grab wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock, and shake back and forth-watch for play. Wheel bearing? CV joint -is boot still good? Ball joints at bottom of wheel attaching point to the control arm-check this for play, too.

What would make my 2006 Subaru forester, witch we all know is AWD, only have front wheel drive? I noticed it when the tires were spinning on the snow & ice. Only the front tires were spinning.

all wheel drive is not 4 wheel drive
there is a diff in the transmission that supplies power equally to the front and read wheels
when traction is lost on a drive set , the other set will remain stationary and the set without traction will spin as in your description
the same result will occur if you have both driver side wheels in a bog, the passenger wheels will be stationary and the drivers side wheels will spin
on some AWD vehicles and I thing yours has one there is a button that can be engaged that stops the transmission diff from acting like a diff and then the rear wheels will drive
read you owners hand book for driving in bad conditions
