Default Its Clicking!

Well dammit... Its clicking already. Doesnt do it all the time, not really when turning, going strait as well. I didnt notice the angle on the cvs change that much. Could be cvs? Could be bearings? Should i do a cv rebuild? There is a thread down below if you want to see the tires. "New Tires". No lift (its solid axle)

WEll hmm... Something in the front end... Ive never heard it before. Sounds like what a cv sounds like when it clicks. But it doesnt do it all the time. Its not real loud.

break your A arms down and slide your axel out of the diff, and remove your hub nut. You may have something dragging in it.
Aslo while it is tore down go ahead and dip your bolts that hold your A arms and hub in place in to some good thick bearing grease to greas up your bushings.

As Far as density of the grease i couldnt tell ya, but a quick call to the shop will be able to. As far as amount you dont want it slammed packed full but you nee to pack your hub bearing full and throw a few goobs into the boot . This is where you bearings and such gets it extra grease if needed.

Hold on a sec i think i have something for ya

Thanks Ck (again) looks like I found the issue. Ball joints have uhh like 1/4~1/2in play... That would explain the random clicking and not constant like a CV may.

So looks like im grounded until i get this fixed...
