Looking for some guidance...
Wife's rig. 2004 that has a 1.5" lift. We have had it for about 3 years - maybe 165000 miles. No issues. I have known the CV axles were bad and then clicking started. I took it to the dealership to have them replaced. I had to have it returned in less than 2-weeks to have one of the CV axles already spitting grease. They replaced them but they cant diagnose the clicking. The tech thought it was the front axle / differential. They wouldnt continue the diagnose any further unless it was changed back to OEM ride height.
They cited the lift and angle as the issue - possible stress. To me, it didnt have any issues before with the lift, etc. The differential might need attention but is the lift that much of a concern. Whats odd is the clicking will start once you press the accelerator. Off the accelerator and coasting, no clicking.
Any thoughts, suggestions...i am going to another shop tomorrow.
