I hear a clicking down by the front left hub....wheel bearing? last time i had this click i tightned the lug nuts and it went away...not this time...i just put the new axles in it a month ago and did i put the front hubs together wrong? the 4x4 works so i did something right lol

could your caliper be loose?

dman1982 · 10-16-2011, 10:04 AM

my dad had a 69 camaro with the 302 in it, and ill check my caliper...that makes sense...i dont think its a ball joint up there....they are pretty new

I had the same problem...clicking...for me it was the darn wheel weights on the 15 inch wheels rubbing on the brake caliper every time it hit that point on the wheel.....

What rims do you have on the truck? I experienced a noise once with my stock rallys, and it turned out to be the center cover had worked it's way loose. Tightened the screws holding the center to the wheel, and was good to go. Hope you track it down, whatever it may be.
