Hi Bill,

That's a great discription of a noise. I just put my '86 Syncro front
axle back together and the front wheel bearings have tight radial seals
on both sides of the wheel bearing housing to keep contaminants out of
the bearing. The front hub rotates in one seal & the outer CV joint in
the other. If these seals are old, hard and/or dry, they might make a
noise especially at very low speed. I don't think such a noise will hurt
anything but a SMALL drop of oil on each seal would be a good test and
probably do all four seals some good anyway. As for the puppy noise, I
don't have a clue!
