Re: 99 sonoma 4x4 front hubs
If it has the automatic 4WD then the front driveshaft is always engaged and could be vibrating due to worn u-joints. If the 4WD was indeed locked in the truck would bind up and do funky things when cornering on dry pavement. I'd blame the front driveshaft myself. My truck has an extremely minor vibration/hum when I get over 60mph that I feel is of no issue.
Do you have push button 4WD and if so does it have 3 or 4 buttons? The 4 button style is the "automatic" version and would be like I described.
