I know a noise description on an internet forum is the worst description and hardest to identify but what the hell...

93 jimmy 4x4, cant tell the specific location but theres definitly (sp)a slow vibration sound coming from the front left suspension/steering (I think ) it also seems to bottom out easier. Could it be the tie-rod (feel free to move this to technical but its not nissan/datsun related so i threw it in general.

How are your 4wd cv shafts doing? How's the bearing? Have you inspected this yet, or just heard some noise/felt vibration?

Jack up the left front (with wheel on the vehicle) take a prybar or a crowbar place under the wheel and pry up and down. If there is movement you might have a bad ball joint(s). Or it could be a wheel bearing going bad.

Hmm I'm thinking the bearing now, I just replaced all front upper and lowers so can't be that.
