Hi all
I seem to be hearing a "kluk, kluk" noise coming from the right rear wheel ever so often.
It mainly happens on with a bit of steering turn and moving over uneven ground or going off of a kerb.
Can't be diff backlash, because it's only on the 1 wheel.
If I stand on the wheel and rock it side to side I can hear it sometimes.
Not sure if it is something or it's just my OCD doing it's thing.
Any thoughts ?

Re: Noise in rear axle
Dustin I had it that the caliper nut came loose and every now and then I heard this clak clak....
Maybe just jack the vehicle up and check those nuts and same time check wheel bearing play specially in out movement

Re: Noise in rear axle
Also check if your sway bar connects are not shot, they can make some noise when they are worn out

Re: Noise in rear axle
Had a quick look at lunch.
It was the sway bar nuts at the chassis mount. Was loosened.
All sorted.
Thanks again

Re: Noise in rear axle
Agreed !
Awesome bunch of guys here.
What irritated me to no end is I looked and didn't see anything initially until it was mentioned here
Oh well, you live and learn I suppose
