Clicking noise while rolling?
So I am getting this strange noise like a card in bike spokes. Could it be the U joint needle bearings? Gonna get under there tomorrow but maybe you can help me look in the right spots. Thank you, Timmy

That would be the first thing I would look at. That and the carrier bearing if it has a two piece drive shaft... LockDoc

Sounds like U-joint if it is a long bed check the carrier bearing second and please block the truck up don't trust the jack to hold up the truck while you are under it. Jim

Re: Clicking noise while rolling?
I have the same sound coming out of my truck, mine only does it when I back up. I checked my u joints and they're fine. Intrested to see what you find!

Re: Clicking noise while rolling?
Bad needle bearings in a joint normally sound like a rotational squeak or tweet. If its a rotational click or tick you may have a screw or something in a tire. Have a passenger ride with you and stick your heads out the window to verify its coming from the rear and which side.

Re: Clicking noise while rolling?
Funny you say that bmerdoc because last fall when I parked it , it was just a squeak. Then it was gone this spring. Now it's back! But diff noise. I have been hauling dirt, mulch furniture with the truck., so it's gotta be the carrier or the u joints. We will see tomorrow.

Re: Clicking noise while rolling?
If it has gone from a squeak to a click you will probably find that the rear u joint has eaten a couple of the needle bearings and you will find missing bearings in the rear joint cups and a small pile of dust that used to be needle bearings. Pull it and inspect. Good luck and I hope its a cheap and easy fix.

Re: Clicking noise while rolling?
Are you running a GM posi/limited slip locker? I just went through this with my Blazer. My rear end sounded fine driving straight foward and reverse. Put it a slow turn in reverse or foward and it made crackling sound and grabbed a bit. Checked everything - ujoints, lug nuts, springs. Turns out I used the cheaper differential fluid for the posi/limited slip. So, I purchased some "GM/AC Delco" posi/limited slip lube and differential fluid. Changed it out and problem solved. Sometimes being cheap dosen't save you any extra cash...

Re: Clicking noise while rolling?
Nice pics. Been there, done that. Good idea to replace the u-joints while you're at it. You'll need to take one apart to replace the bearing assembly anyway.
