Well, it could still be CV because you're turning the wheel with the front end up so the CVs are riding in a different spot in the outer race.

It could be the front differential since it's function is to divide power between the two wheels even when they are spinning at different speeds (like in a turn). Does one wheel turn the opposite direction from the other when you spin it? Hold one wheel in place while spining the other & listen for odd noises in the differential.

I'd suggest draining the front pumpkin next and inspect what comes out to see if there are any metal flakes or even chunks of metal (that would not be good). If nothing else, it's a chance to change over to synthetic oil. One of the symptoms listed in the shop manual for low or dirty oil in the differential is a grinding noise ... so that's what we're all praying for.

BTW, there are even places you can send a sample of your oil off to & they can perform an analysis to determine if there is anything untoward happening in your diff.

BBTW, is your breather tube still attached to your axle tube? If that's missing, the oil could be contaminated with water.
