dana 35 problem Help please

[searanger1]

Hi all , I am becoming very frustrated, when I bought this truck (2000 4x4) there was a bearing noise. that I thought was the worn out 33s .After new tires ,ujoints,rear axle bearings ,front ball joints . the noise is as loud as ever, it starts at about 30mph -45mph kind of a pulsing loud rubbing ,very annoying the only play in the front end is right side where cv axle goes into housing , Is there a bearing there that could be bad ?? the hub bearings seem good although they are kind of tight and dont really spin easily , is this normal??

I'd suspect wheel bearings in the front.

It has to be your hub assembly. The bearing in there is shot. I had a 2000 and 2002 ranger with the same problem. replaced the hub and no more noise. It is caused by water and mud getting in there. It costs about $250-$280 ea.
