'02 Yukon/Tahoe front CV Shaft bad? Help.
 

SERIOUS clicking snapping from the left front wheel area when wheel turned all the way to the left and backing up slow or going forward and slowing for a sharp left turn. Thinking CV joint/shaft. Slight play when pulling on it by hand but not a ton of play. Never worked on one of these before. Any special tools or pullers or anything needed and does this sound like a reasonable diagnosis? Any help/input/tips are appreciated. Looks like just pull the rotor and front hub, split the inboard joint, and pull spindle too? Thanks in advance, Durg.

Put in the new shaft. Same noise.

Ball joints or wheel hub

I have 2 new Timken hubs ordered. I changed out front rotors and pads and rear pads today. The rear emergency brakes backing plate/dust guards were rotted and crumbling and a piece was jammed against rotor making a little grinding noise but I still have the same noises so I will wait and see after I change out the front wheel hubs and bearings. I put the grease right to both upper and lower ball joints also. Thanks.
