Default Strange noises

First off, sometimes when I would slow down on a highway ramp i would hear a loud noise coming from my front passenger side, I could never figure out what it was because it stops as soon as I stop the truck. I heard it could be my CV axles but I'm not exactly handy when it comes to my truck. Now just starting yesterday When driving around turns I feel almost a grinding under my feet only when I turn while driving, and I just mean bends in the road it doesn't do this making 90 degree turns. Just wondering if any experts can possibly help me out a bit!

Thanks guys,

Is the noise get louder when you turn one direction as compared to straight or the opposite direction? Is your truck 4wd? If it is, does the noise go away when in 4wd?

If it is the same in 4wd as it is in 2wd and the 4wd actually properly engages, then the problem is likely with either the CV (should make more noise while turning in either direction) or with the wheel bearing (should make more noise while turning in one direction).
