My Ranger just started making some weird noises from the front end in the last few days. Almost like a light metal on metal sound. Not a grinding sound however. It gets worse going around corners. Almost like the brake pad is dragging on the rotor. However, I experience no pull, and I just put new pads and rotors on the front end less than 5k miles ago. Everything was sliding and in good condition when I did them. I am thinking it may be time for new wheel hubs. I bought the truck about 40k miles ago, and have had it offroad in mud and water. I am not sure if the hubs are original or not.
Should I go ahead and replace them anyways? I can get new replacement hub for about $90 each through my work.
