ANNOYING SQUEAL

I have a 98' Mazda B3000 4x4. There is a high pitch squeal coming from the front. The truck also seems to have an eratic vibration at all speeds. The noise is consistent with vehicle speed and goes away at at 20 mph and below. Can anyone help me!!!

ANNOYING SQUEAL

I have the same problem with my 99 Ranger 4x4. It mainly happens after I engage and disengage 4 wheel drive. I had a dealer look at it and they said something about my dust shields are rubbing my spindles in the front end and they wanted almost $500 to fix it. I haven't done it yet, but I just plan on trying to bend them away from the spindles the next time I rotate my tires.

Thanks for the tip. I thought it might have been the front u-joint, replaced and did'nt make a difference. I'll check the shields.
