squeeky rear wheels
i am working on a 96 ranger 2wd the front brakes were shot or nearly so,about 1/8 in left and cracked. changed them this morning at 5am because that is the cool of the day (104 today) everything up front works fine but the howling and nails across the chalk board from the back was still there. took it to my freindly les schwab and they told me it needed axle seals on one side and the noise is from the gear lube on the shoes. they wanted 800 bucks to fix everything,hell no, went and bought new shoes,new seals,gear oil,and gasket for rear end cover it is an easy half hour job. as i was driving home tonight from the parts store the noise stopped so now i am worried either it was a rock stuck between the drum and backing plate or something broke. everything sounds and works fine,now i am nervouse i will let everyone know as soon as it cools off in the next few days or i find a nice cool place to work besids my driveway

found out someone put the wrong brake drum on one side. the driver side went on no problem,but the passenger side with the shoes all the way retracted it was still hard to put the drum on.
