CV Joint Trouble. Sign In

Alright I have a 1998 Ford Ranger, and when I am driving along my trucks wheels make this high pitched, squealing like noise. It is a 4x4 so I suspect that it has something to do with the CV joints. As the wheel goes around it makes the noise and you can tell that it is making the noise as the wheel turns round and round. So does anyone have any suggestions?

Wheel bearings are more likely. CV joints usually crackle and worse on turns or when accellerating,

Yes! Front wheels have bearings. It isn't exactly like Fred Flintstone's buggyWink

Could also be a brake indicator that is rubbing the rotor and squealing. Does it squeal all the time? Does the squealing lessen when the brakes are applied? Is it worse turning? As you can see, the more information we have, the more we can help you.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
