If it's a 4wd my guess would be a cv shaft. How many miles on it? Check and see if you have a torn boot that has possibly caused the cv joint to "dry" out.

With 130k miles you may have a worn out or damaged cv shaft. Jack the front tires off the ground an turn the tire by hand. Also try it with the steering wheel turned each way. Listen and feel for anything "not smooth".
