I take it you don't want to take the time to put the rear on stands to find out where the sound is REALLY coming from.savegoodautonfg said:its more like a clicking nosie i think to tell you the truth.what about axle shaft bearings?
def not the exhaust pipe hitting
have you looked closely to see if anything is embedded in the tire...savegoodautonfg said:its more like a clicking nosie i think to tell you the truth.what about axle shaft bearings?

It was DEFINITELY a clunk, changed the rear wheel bearings and I was good to go. Very easy fix, just need a slide hammer and bearing puller which you can rent from a local auto parts store such as AutoZone.
If your going through all the trouble of pulling out the shafts. You might as well replace all of the bearings in there. Would suck to get those in to find out it was the pinion bearing clicking from the wrong pre-load being set.savegoodautonfg said:ok will do.. thanks man. well, does anyone know where i can get a good writeup with maybe even pictures on the rear wheel bearings?
those are the same as the axle shaft bearings?

rockyracoon said:when I had a bad axle bearing it was more of a whomp.whomp whomp,every time the wheel rotated,it would not be noticeable at highway.clunking is more likely excessive backlash.just grab the driveshaft and move it back and forth and see how much play is there before the wheels start turning.
With the car on the stands, you eliminate the load placed on the bearings. You also eliminate the fact that it can be something simple like loose bolts, rubbing parts, brake parts and so on becasue there easy to check for while it's on stands. You did check that stuff right?savegoodautonfg said:so i jacked it up with my father and did what i was told from you guys on the forums and i can't hear the noise at all. then i drove the car down the road and i hear it again. i mean i dont know what the hell it could be.. any ideas now?
