<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hub or u-joint? I am thinking u-joint since that joint is never lubed because you can't get to the fitting.<o:p></o:p></p>
