Noise coming from drive motors in and out of turns

Hey, anyone seen or heard on a 4500AC a bearing noise coming from both drive motors going in and out of turns.
Is this normal? Maybe brake rotors floating on a splined shaft or something inside the drive unit? Anyone have a TSB on this?
Anyone run into this?

Thanks for the feedback.
I don't have a pdf file for this unit do the brakes come apart easly? I'm beginning to think it could be something to do with the brakes. Thanks again.

I have seen bad friction pads cause a noise. Easy to look for. Otherwise probably a drive unit.
No TSB that i can see.

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
