Front end/ 4wd question.
2006 F250 4wd, 6.0
I’ve recently got a pretty good vibration while driving at about 50mph. I got under the truck today and started checking u-joints.
I started at the rear moving towards the front and the u-joints on the driveshaft all appeared good .
moving to the front end however, I noticed I can spin the u-joints behind the driver side tire and while I was doing that the driveshaft joining into the transfer case was also spinning. The u-joints behind the passenger side front tire would not spin. I’m gonna guess this is NOT normal?

Time to take the hubs out, clean them of old cakey grease, and reload them with a bit of grease for smooth operation. Clean and lightly grease the o-ring between your fingers, just a light coat of grease on it so hopefully it seals nice for a few more years, or replace it while you have it apart. Auto-hubs should be disassembled and greased yearly to ensure they don't act up, get sticky, or not operate at all due to vacuum leaks.
