Hey guys,
I think I know the answer to this already, but want to be sure.
A couple months ago, I began to hear a high-pitch clicking sound (speed-dependent) coming from the left side of my front axle when turning. Eventually, I found a bit of play in my axle shaft U-joint on that side, so I replaced both of them with some crap-ass Neapcos from Advanced Auto Parts (Brute Force).
All was well and good for a few weeks, then the click started to come back... Faint at first (maybe 2 to 3 clicks per rotation of the wheel), but now it sounds like someone flipping through a deck of playing cards when turning. No visible play in the joint, but I'm guessing that at least the driver side U-joint is already crapping out.
Am I somewhat on base here? If so, I'm going to just buy proper Spicer 760x joints and call it a day to avoid this pain in the ass for (hopefully) a while longer moving into the future.
