Fx4 2003 strange sound when taking off
Just a quick ? /// When I give the truck gas from a dead stop while turning left or right i feel a slight rumbling in the front end ,, It only does it when I am taking off and turning left or right not when I take off going straight .. Also it seems worse when I pull my 12 ft trailer with the steam cleaning rig on it .

Its a fx4 2003 5.4L OEM 17 inch rims .. Tires are Duelers Factory size...

Any Help would be appreciated

First thing to look at would be the CV joints.

EDIT: Maybe not - they shouldn't be under that much of a load in 2wd...........if those are aggressive tread tires, they can rumble when running on the edges.
