Default 2001 grand Cherokee limited 4.7 v8 noise when turning hard at slow speed

Hey this is my first jeep, solid truck with 93781 miles. But when I turn sharp at slow speeds. I get a noise best described as the sound tires make when they catch the wheel arches, kind of a hum/grind.
I recently replaced the power steering high pressure line and return hose, put fresh synthetic oil in, and did a transfer case fluid change. And the noise is still there.

It made that noise before I did all that maintenance too.
What do you guys think?

Thank you

The easy non expensive things first.. if you are running wider tires it could be your tire hits the undercarriage when turning sharp to
one way or another.. try not turning so sharp and see if you still have the noise. Adjusting the bump stops or putting on newer ones
I just don't full turn in either direction.

Hey thanks for replying! I appreciate it. I took it into my mechanic to get the transmission serviced, and I explained to him what was going on, he said he would change the t case fluid(which I did already and also that's what he would of started with), ball joints are still good.
Long story short, he said it is most likely the u joint in the front drive shaft.
Seems strange to me though, I don't feel any vibration or hear anything in the driveline. Also the tires are the stock size, and almost time for new ones, i can't see why they would rub on anything, there is no obvious damage from tires rubbing either.
