Bobbo,
Really appreciate your comment. With the both repairs they replaced the actuator hubs and on the second repair they also replaced the solenoid that enables / disables the vacuum. Based on the symptoms observed (the noise was at low rpm during a 45 degree turn) it makes sense the check valve is inefficient. If the check valve were working properly it would retain the higher vacuum achieved before the rpms were dropped during the slow turn. Will be ordering a couple YG360 check valves.
theoldwizard1,
Understand vacuum reservoir and use by other systems. In this case the only subsystem affected is the 4x4 front hubs which Bobbo mentioned is a little too common with the F150s. Appreciate the feedback. Glad it is not like a a Hudson that also used vacuum for the wipers. : )
Thanks,
Stu
