Ranger Edge 3.0L. V6
FRONT END HAD PLAY AND LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN MOVING. KICKED WHEELS AND SAW THE PLAY IN THEM VISUALLY. NEW TIRES ALL AROUND AND FRONT END INSPECTION/ALIGNMENT. NO CHANGE IN NOISE AND HANDLING. COME TO FIND OUT THE WHEEL BEARINGS WEREN'T EVEN FINGER TIGHT. TIGHTENED THEM TO NORMAL AND LIFE WAS GOOD BUT STILL HAD THE NOISE., HANDLING WAS 100% NOW. WITH NO PLAY IN THE WHEELS. ABOUT 3 MO. LATER SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I REPLACED INNER AND OUTER BEARINGS WITH "CHEAP PARTS" 3 MONTHS LATER HEARD THE NOISE AND THUMPING AGAIN. TIGHTENED THEM AGAIN, AND LIFE WAS GOOD NOW THEY ARE LOUD . WHY DON'T THEY STAY TIGHT. COTTER PINS ARE IN PLACE WITH NUT LOCKS. I DON'T GET IT. IT CANT BE SAFE!
