Rear end clicking

Mybadjk · Aug 20, 2017

I have a clicking noise coming from the rear axle. Thinking bent shaft? Maybe spider gears? Hope it isn't spider gears.

I know it's hard to hear.

Flange bent? Looks like your tire is wobbling quite a bit.

This is another one when I was looking for vibrations. Does seem like it's bent. Might have to pull the wheel and caliper off to see.

It sounds similar to my issue which was a loose bolt at the top of the rear shock bracket

I checked all the suspension bolts. So don't think it's that. Thanks for the idea though.

Couldn't really hear anything. Is the sound only coming through on acceleration or do you hear it on coast/decell too?

Both. Usually hear it more through coasting when the engine isn't revving. But gets faster when I'm going faster. I plan on taking the wheel off and look at the flange

Well axle has a leak. Shaft has play inward and outward as well as up and down. Diff was low on fluid. Still makes the same noise.
Can't tell if the flange is bent. Ran out of time.

Sounds like a bad bearing. Any recent work in this area? I was going to suggest checking run-out with a dial indicator to check the flange, but with a bad bearing, it won't be accurate. Maybe a machine shop could put it in a lathe and check it for you.

It was replaced last year in July. Bearing, seal and tps was gone. They replaced taps and all the bearing, seal and tone ring. Planning on stopping by and talking to a tech.

how long they last also depends on what brand of bearing they used- most shops use what ever "repair" bearing offers the most profit.
