Yup. Click click click coming from the drivers front wheel area. Follows wheel speed. Goes away if I put a little pressure on the brakes.

First thought it was an axle joint, but it doesn't wiggle and appears well greased. Then I took the ring that engages when you lock in hubs (dont know what it is called) out and greased the heck out of the insides.

Still has the clicking.

While I had the front tire off the ground I wiggled and pulled and spun.... no clicking (this was AFTER the greasing of the hub) The tire stays rock solid. No play anywhere I can find.

Anyone have a clue what this might be?


Thanks

PS. Its a 93 LE auto 4x4

I had that with a slightly bent dust shield. Took forever to figure it out. give it a look.

Sounds like the brake pads are slipping back and forth in the caliper. My snowplow does the same thing. They make a "membrane" that can be applied to the piston and it kinda sticks to the back of the brake pad and retracts it when the piston retracts.

Dodge359

I dont know if the 93s have the clip that hooks to the pad and the piston. If so that might be loose or broken.

Now THAT is the reason I love this place!


I will take a look at o'daylight 30. This is driving me NUTS.

that's what mine is doing. where can i get this membrane?

Dodge359

It used to come with the pads I bought at NAPA but they will probably have it separate there too.

thanks man

Clicky,Clicky,Clicky. Theres a bomb under the hood ready to go off. All you can do to stop it is to get out the check book and buy a set of DDP stage 4's, An HTT 62/13, o-rings and head studs. Then the Clicky, Clicky will quiet down a little.

LOL



FIRST.... Three piece manifold. Mine seems to have shrunk.


THEN.... Build me a tranny that doesn't slip to the moon.


MAYBE.... Some stacks, turbo, fuel....

Hehe, have you looked for a nail in the tire yet? Just because its not leaking down doesn't mean its not there.

marksmith

Yup! Even swapped front for rear to see if the problem followed.


This does it on gravel... pavement... grass..... you name it.

LMAO!!! I haven't had this truck for 1 month yet! This is what she looked like after I yanked the running boards, the factory steelies (with caps/rings) and tossed on some of my uncles 'spare' tires.

I dont think she'll go anywhere. Gave 7200 for her. Really clean IMHO (factory EVERYTHING in cab and it all works) LOADED LE. (first tranny cooler I have ever seen factory that was under the bed)

There is only a few quirks she has that I need to fix for my sanity.

Looks like it will be Sunday before I can have a look @ the brakes. HOPEFULLY it will be simple.

Thanks again
Mark
