Loud squeal/screech in front end....help/ideas?
The past two times i've gone off roading some pretty loud squeal/screech starts going on on the front drivers side of the truck. come to think of it, last week when i was back in 2wd and driving on the road it was doing it for a while but it was right after i left the trail, then eventually died out. The bellows boots aren't clamped anymore on one end on the inner tie rod, would it be that theres some crap that got in there or something? the noise eventually goes away after a while, sounds like a rear drum being stuck but this is coming from the front end, almost positively.
any ideas what i should take a look at? I don't want to waste time tearing into things that won't explain or solve the problem.
Thanks guys

The large excluder seal on the inside of the steering knuckle may be dry and/or dusty. Squealing from a dry excluder is a known problem on 4x4 SLA Rangers and usually occurs at very low speeds. If that's the source of your problem, cleaning and regreasing the seal with high temp wheel bearing grease should take care of it. If it's old, a replacement seal might be a good idea but it also needs to be greased before being put into service.
its not the shocks
