Weird Noise

When i was driving my 1993 5.8 Bronco last night in traffic i noticed that about every 2 miles or so when i would get going from a stopped position in traffic about 10 miles an hour the front right side of my truck would make a really bad screaching noise, it almost sounded like it was coming from my hub. Then another thing is when i get going at around 50 mph my truck really starts wobbling all over the place like one of the rims are loose, but i checked all the lug nuts on all the rims and they are all fine, i was wondering what was creating this problem. Any help would be awsome. Thanks

Don't drive it until you pull the hub and get a look at the wheel bearings, it could get ugly real fast on the road. If your not comfortable with that, it's a very basic inspection that surely one of your neighbors or relatives is capable of doing. There are good instructions on this and other ford 4x4 sites. Don't drive it!

here is my thought, if u drive a bronco and r not mechanically skilled and have no tools get rid of it because it is going to be nothing but a money pit. if ur mechanically skilled like i am and have tools do wat has to be done u save urself alot of money instead of taking it to a mechanic all the time
