drive side front smell after 4x4 use
i got a 98 3.0 5 speed ranger. got manul lockers for hubs. got a great deal of snow and had to drive. felt safer using 4x4 good 2 inches of slush and snow on the road so i left it in 4x4 hi. i did about 25 40mph the whole trip prob about a 10 mile drive. when i got out i noticed a smell almost smelt like a wheel bearing. was cold and snowing so didnt investigate no more then it was just driver side. 4x4 works fine. any ideas. wheel bearing was replaced not to long ago

only grease fitting is on the control arm i think its called or bottom a arm something like that. i know its bad to keep them manual hubs locked in but i was using them and it was safer then 2wd. is there anything on that side that different then the other. any idea where i can start lookin at when it gets warmer lol
