Bad bearing?
Hey everyone!
I'm getting what sounds like grinding noises from my 2002 Ranger XLT 4x4. I just bought it with 85k miles on it. Anyway, The noise is most apparent at slow speed, such as coming to a stop or starting out. Noise seems to go away or become unnoticeable at speed. Noise also seems louder/rougher when making a left turn. Someone told me that it could be the 4x4 auto locking hub but I'm of the opinion that it could be bearings. Anyone know of any checks I can do to eliminate one or the other? And if it does turn out to be either the 4x4 hubs or the bearings anyone have any idea how painful it is to fix?

Re: Bad bearing?
did you ever get this resolved. I'm having the same problem. I have manual hubs.

Re: Bad bearing?
More research has shown me that the outer bearings and the lockout mechanism are of a single unit. If one goes you have to replace them both anyway. Probably why they are so expensive. Just waiting for warmer weather so I can replace the hub/bearing.
