Clicking Front End

Post by Potter »

Hi I have a 2001 GU wagon and ever since i took it up to fraser there has been a clicking sound coming from my front end. I have changed the auto locking hubs to manual the noise is still there but not as bad any sugestions???

Could it be a CV or Wheel bearing??

sounds like wheel bearings but maybe you should just give your front diff and axles an overhaul regrease and drain diff fluids and start from scratch.

is it a constant clicking sound as your moving or just one click when you turn the wheel?

Can you describe that in more detail? It clicks while you're turning the wheel, at a certain steering point? Or it clicks one after you've turned the wheel, then wont click again until you straighten and then turn again? Both sides?

Jack up the front of your car, spin the wheels, turn the steering wheel, listen for click. Should give you more info.

could be tie-rod ends/swivel hubs/some other steering linkages have a notch in it, could even just be lacking grease in there?

jump under and feel for play in any of the linkages and re-grease!
