2010 Ford explorer eddie bauer edition

Don't know your mileage, but my first guess would be the wheel bearing. Other items, like ball joints, would be further down the list of suspects.

Likely a wheel bearing. Take it to a reputable shop for an estimate.

To check the bearing, jack up the car until front wheel(s) are off the ground. Grab the tire at the 12 and 6 O'clock position and see if it rocks back and forth while pulling on the top and pushing at the bottom. Do the same at 3 and 9 o'clock position. If it wiggles back and forth, the bearing is bad.
