Hmmm... Does your 4x4 have lock/unlock hubs at the wheel, or does that happen at the differential? I'm wondering about a universal or cv joint, whichever it has.
I've never had a 4x4 Ranger, so I'm a little unfamiliar with the exact setup.

Have you crawled under it and tried to replicate the sound by slightly bounching the vehicle? And how are the shocks on it? I had a Rancho make a noise similar to what you're describing at about 15K miles.

yeah i replicated by bounceing it but it sounds like its coming from a couple places first i thought it was the shocks then i thought maybe it was the torison bars i know its hard to figure things out without looking at so i just want a list a thing to look at or test to confirm the problem
