Hello TRS folks,
We took the ranger out on some gnarly dirt roads over the long weekend to get to hiking trailheads and noticed a squeak/squeal from the driver side wheel only when in 4WD, high or low. You could tell it was with the rotation of the wheel (loud then softer each rotation). Looking under the truck the CV boots looked fine. It seemed to get somewhat louder throughout the weekend but hard to say for sure.
Our ranger has the vacuum hubs, which disengaged at a particularly tricky part of the road, and I'll be replacing those with manual lockers soon. While I have the truck up to replace the vacuum hubs - what should I look for?
