Getting the Wheeling Fever
driving on some rough terrain in some high weeds with my wife (showing off). my truck found a really deep hole in the ground and the front end fell in. It was actually more like a really big pot hole- I was going too fast for what I could see <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> anyway... that was the last time a went wheeling, probably a month and a half ago.
So, yesterday I parked on a large dirt pile in my front yard (doing some major yardwork) and couldn't get the truck off this morning in 2wd so... into four it went. No problems there, but I left the hubs locked, pulled it out of 4wd and drove to work. All the way there it felt like my steering wheel was a woman's pleasure toy and noticed an intermitant squeel that changed frequency when changing speeds. ohhh... it's an 88 4runner sr5 v6, 28's with stock saggy suspension - ohhhhh yahhhhhh. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />
Any kind of hints in the right direction would be great, thanks

Could be a bad CV joint, maybe due to a torn boot. You could isolate it to one side or the other by locking only one hub and drive testing it. Might also be something bent from the pot hole incident. Might have the alignment check and give the suspension parts a good going over looking for damage. Also could like a the front tires, lock the hubs and try spinning the tire by hand, to see if you can duplicate the noise/vibration.
