Do your front axles make clicking noise when turned by hand?

Postby itmustbeslim » Sat Dec 23, 2017 8:06 am

Might be a weird question but I am replacing the hub assemblies on my R51, got everything off and am just letting PB blaster soak the hubs before I attempt to pull em.

That being said, when I turn the hub assemblies by hand, the axles make a clicking noise when they are turning consistent with the speed they are being turned. I can post a video if necessary. I mean it doesn't sound concerning but I have never heard it before.

This is an R51, LE, V6, 4x4 with the ATX14B. Somewhat related but I am going to change the front and rear final drive oil and do a transfer oil change since I am not sure it has ever been done.

Thanks for your help.
