Quick Question

Hi, I have a 2000 4.6L 4x4 F-150 with 150000 miles on it lately it has been making a loud grinding noise when I take a sharp left, to the right its fine. I also have been noticing sparratic whining noises that come and go without notice. I had the 4x4 ujoints changed a few weeks ago. Also the truck is making clunks when you go over rougher terrain such as our cornfields or even when you must take a sharp turn on a steep incline. Probably time for a new truck but funds dont allow it yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Alot
Ps. Im not sure were I was supposed to post this.

If not the sway bar, may be a front bearing for the grinding noise. You would normally feel it in the steering wheel.
