'06 Explorer, V-6, 170K. Have replaced the wheel bearings front and back. Above 40 mph get a fairly loud howl and vibration that seems to be coming from the front. Does not change if I turn the steering wheel right or left or apply the brakes. When I was replacing the driver's side front wheel hub/bearing (Motorcraft), I grabbed the axle shaft and rotated it. Is the axle shaft supposed to rotate smoothly on an AWD? I would describe the movement as "crunchy". Tires are new. Help!
