[TR] Noise from left rear wheel

[Peter Arakelian]

OK, first, let's not stray too far off topic - no reference to witch's spells.

I am getting a sharp metallic click or snap sound from left rear wheel area, sometimes pretty loud. I jacked up that corner and rotated the wheel found the sound occurs at about the same point every time, but not on every turn. It is a sharp click, sometimes louder than others. I can't tell if it is the outer u-joint or the hub. It is NOT the diff mount, I looked and no cracks and was boxed in by the welder who repaired it 25 years ago. It is NOT in the brake workings; I pulled the drum off and the sound is still present at the same point, but no movement on any brake component.

Hub or u-joint? I am thinking u-joint since that joint is never lubed because you can't get to the fitting.

Watcha think?
