noisy hubs?

[Havok 4x4]

when i engage my locking hubs my front end squeaks very badly like an old enormous spring being stretched and released,why im not sure if its the hubs is iv never had locking hubs for one and secondly it ONLY squealches like that if the tires are turned anyway left or right and in motion if im going straight on they make no noise whatsoever and iv heard that bad hubs make clicking sounds not this ungodly heavy squeaking (dont worry once i heard it i stopped using 4x4 immediatly after a quick investigation dont wanna blow up parts),thanks in advance for what may be simple help.

Bad axle u joints or perhaps bad spindle bearings comes to mind.

ya i was looking at some posts and a bent spindle comes up how could i check if the spindles are dead center? im probably taking the hubs off first thing tomorrow anything else i should check besides the bearings and racers?

It's normal for the shafts to wiggle around. I'm pretty sure you have a bad u/j somewhere.
