Default Vibration in frontend, in 2WD...but not 4WD

Hello Ford community! Before going to my scheduled service appt at the dealer for a vibration in the front end.. I wanted to ask the F150 experts on this forum to get input or feedback about what the possible root causes could be.. truck is under extended warranty..

In 2WD... As i accelerate and decelerate.. I can hear and feel a vibration that seems to be coming from the front end, given the feel in the steering wheel and both peddles..the vibration is very noticeable to the ears especially when coming to a stop...the noise and vibration is still noticeable even eyond accelerating...but seems to subside momentarily as I turn the wheel(say in a parking lot moving slowly)...and the vibration/noise goes away completely when the truck is in 4A... as if nothing was wrong!!..

Any feedback would be freatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Do you have locking hubs?

Almost want to say a shaft is still engaged, or you have wheel bearings going. I would suggest getting the front end off the ground and do a visual inspection, check the wheel bearings for tightness etc.
