Defect
On full-time four-wheel-drive light trucks, the spline section of the front hub flange that connects the drive shaft has insufficient hardness, causing the spline to wear. This wear produces abnormal noise. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this condition, the drive shaft may spin freely and, in the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the front hub flange and drive shaft with corrected parts. Additionally, replace the knuckle seal with a corrected part to prevent the ingress of mud and water.
