Turn CAPS OFF

You need a new truck.....................:)

If you have a vibration or noise from left front wheel then jack up left front wheel and have a look, not sure what other help we can offer until you look and feel if wheel is loose.

Could be:
Bad tire
brake caliper/pads
hub bearing
Axle CV joint
Differential
CV joint on the transfer case, not an uncommon problem in the early 2000's Rangers and explorers


Video here of whats behind the wheel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADrcX02dq2E

Not implying it is a bad axle CV joint, it is just this video covers disassembly so you can see what's behind each wheel in the front
