Default Grinding and vibration in front end 96 disco 1

Hello,
I am getting a grinding noise and a slight vibration at the wheels while I am driving my 96 Discovery. I put it in 4WD and still got it. It is there at all speeds. If you place your hand on the differential shifter, you can feel it but not on the transmission shifter. I am new to Land Rovers, and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil

Have you checked all your fluids? Including both swivel housings, differentials, TC, transmission. When was the last time you lubed the drive shafts?

My guess is driveshaft or wheel bearings.

I changed the transfer case and front and rear differential fluids and checked the swivels. I still have the same problem.; The vibration only happens when I am accelerating.
