SOURCE: noise in front end, sounds

You say the rear wheel axles and bearings have been replaced, you mention nothing of the front wheels, you have the symptoms of a front wheel bearing being worn out, remove them and check for pitting in the bearing rollers or the bearing races, I am sure you will find a problem. Hope this helps solve your issue with the bearing noise.

Sounds like you have a IWE that the gears are ground down, or a bad vacuum line to that side.

This could have been caused by the IWE ( Integrated Wheel End ) solenoid ) TSB :

You can check the vacuum line with a vacuum pump and gauge tester, just to be sure, but considering it is grinding while in 4WD, I would say the IWE needs to be replaced on that side. Maybe change the IWE solenoid while you are doing the work ( it will be a rounding error on the total cost )

The EXACT same signal light problem started on my 07 Ford Fusion yesterday. Had to pull the right bulb to save the battery last night. Which is why I'm on here: Ford dealer wants $99/hr to diagnose... my family can't eat mac and cheese for a month. The solutions so far don't seem too confident. Any luck?

Thumping noise coming from front end

If the noise indeed does get louder when turning right, I would suspect the leftside hub.

Growing noise in front end of Volvo s60

sounds like a wheel brg, if the noise lessens when you turn to the left while driving more than likely it is coming from the right side, but a brg makes more of a roaring noise.

Check the condition of the wheel bearings, front and back side if the brake rotor, and the back side of the rim. Everything should be clean, rust build-up can throw everything out of true. The hub or wheel-bearing should be tight and smooth when spun.
