Anyone had this problem? Wheel noise/vibration 03
My 03 Ranger 4dr 4x4 has had a persistant problem with a sound coming from the front wheel area that sound like a thumping. It usually is noticiable between 30 and 45 mph and can also be felt through the steering wheel. Dealer rotated tires, changed wheel hub, and it is STILL doing it. Anyone else have this problem?

My '03 did (and still does) the same thing. It appeared around 5K as well. I thought it might be a wheel bearing problem or something, but it's those #%@$ Goodyear tires that come on them. They just refuse to balance. The service people seem to be aware of the problem w/ these tires on Rangers, and i've even heard of one person getting them replaced under warranty. I'll keep on thump thump thumping until they wear out and then replace them w/ BF Goodrich AT's.

I have a different problem myself. As I drive i hear a squealing that changes(like a wave) and it isnt worn down brake pads. I think either the rotor is outta whack or there is some type of rotor problem!
Damn front ends of our trucks! My boss at work today has a 96 ranger 4x4. He was tellin me about how jus yesterday his truck, the brake booster blew and he lost all power in his brakes(but he was towin his boat trailer out of the water). So he left his boat at the docks and took the truck/trailer home because he refilled brake fluid. When he got home, his trailer tire fell off! IT's kind wierd, but he's lucky hisbrakes wient bad! Otherwise he could've wrecked his truck on the highway!
