slight clicking when turning sharp left
slight clicking when turning sharp left
When I make a sharp left turn I can hear slight clicking on the right front side. I just had ball joints replaced this summer! What else can it be? I like this truck but it sure seems something goes wrong about every 3-4 months.
I didn't do the ball joints myself because of not having the correct tools and difficulty. I do try and do alot of the work myself--are replacing the U-joints as hard as the ball joints?
No it is easier than installing new ball joints. You just have to tear the front end down to pretty much the point of installing new ball joints. Search "ball joints" you will find an easy step by step procedure for installing ball joints which will also cover the u-joints. The u-joints themselves are large, if you don't have a press you may have to take the shafts to a shop and have new ones installed. But by tearing it down yourself you will save several hundred $ in labor. You might also check the wheel bearings, if they missed bad u-joints they may have overlooked the wheel bearings as well.
