My automatic hubs on my ranger failed a few months ago. I switched to the rugged ridge manual lockers. In a few weeks they failed. I bought another set and that set completly granaded. I know I put them on right. So I checked the CV axles and they have a bunch of play in them spesifically closer to the tires. This is happening on both sides. Is there a barring that could be bad causing this problem or is it just the CV axles? I know the wheel barring is good.

Thanks!

It would be cheaper for you to take it to a local shop than to pay me to come fix it.

It ended up being the barring that holds up the CV axle. I replaced the whole wheel barring assembly
