bearing noise?
I have a 1979 f 150 4wd. I was up in the woods a couple of weeks ago and afterI locked in the hubs I started getting a squeaking sound from the right front.
I unlocked the hubs and headed home ,It continued to make the noise for a couple of miles and then it quieted down.now it makes the noise off and on as I am driving to work (in 2wd on the road). Is there a way to tell if it the bearings or cv joint
I basically have a small toolbox and a driveway, do these repairs require any special tools? This is my first 4wd any feedback is very helpful, thanks

You'll only know what to fix/replace once ya get in there and look around.
Tools...A spindle nut socket, a set of pics to remove the circlip, and correctly sized Allen wrench to remove the hubs... in addition to your normal tools of course.
In a pinch, a section of 2-inch PVC can be modified in place of the spindle nut socket. But the latter is only around $15 or so.
