Odd 4x4 noises
I have a 94 f150 with the e4od and the 5.8. Yesterday it started to snow like crazy all day and the roads were slicker than snot by the time I got off work. So I ran it in 4 wheel drive on the way home and every time I would get it over 50 you could hear a vibration that sounds like it's coming from the drivers front wheel. It sounds really bad when you are off the gas slowing down from 45 to 40 mph. It sounds like when you spin a wheel really fast on a toy car, kind of a growly vibration noise. I've never had a 4x4 system so noisy before any ideas?
Oh yeah, it has the auto hubs on it as well. I was going to crawl under it and make sure there are no bad u-joints on the drive line or half shafts. What else should I look at?

If it's a bad u-joint on one of the axle shafts its going to have to wait till summer. It's not bad enough to tear the front end completely apart in the snow below freezing! how can you tell if an auto hub is going bad?
