Got a loud clicking noise that comes from the front right wheel whenever I go around a left turn. In 2wd, on the road. Haven't had it in 4wd lately. Any ideas what that might be? Thanks.

 

Bad u-joint in axle shaft. Even though you are not in 4wd it still spins.

 

Thanks. Do I need to pull the hub to fix the U joint?

 

Yup

 

Heres a trick if the hub dont come out. Get a bolt that will thread in where the bolt goes to hold the hub to the knuckle put a piece of metal between the axle and the bolt start the truck up and turn the wheel and have some one hit the knuckle and it should break the hub free from the knuckle. Reason you dont use the bolt that came out is that it will bend. I keep extra bolts just for that. Also make sure its threaded in enough.

 

I heard a bad bearing will cause a clicking sound...Hope its just a u-joint...front bearings are not cheap....Well there not cheap here in Canada..

 

Yea they can do that but i have seen more joints go. The bearings arent cheap anywhere! lol

 

Also check lugs torque. Mine was clicking on turns and it was loose lugs. The aluminum wheels need to be torqued right or they loosen.
