Since you have a 4X4, did you check your hubs? If you have the auto hubs, and have not cleaned and lube them lately, I would disassemble them, clean them with a good parts cleaner, and grease them. I would do this every couple of years, old grease and dirt is what causes these hubs to fail.

When I had this problem (After doing all the normal cures...brake, bearings and suspension.) I ended up replacing all the rubber bushings. Made a big improvement!

I had the same problem in my 1999 4X4 Ranger Sport. Same wheel and everything. I even took it to the dealer to see if they could pinpoint what it was and they said they didnt see anything amiss. A week after the dealer trip (and a month of a squealing tire at this point

) it just stopped. Why it stopped and why it started is still beyond me but, please, let us know!
