UPDATE
Ok so i am still crossing my fingers that i have got everything sorted. The most stupidly bizarre thing occurred. The bolts on the new bearing had basically backed out and were hitting the back of the wheel studs. But, this was on the passenger side only. Which explains why it made noise on left turns because the bolts would slide out and hit the turning hub.
This does not explain why i felt and heard the noise coming from the driver side. I cant really explain it. Everything is back together and all torqued correctly. I have only driven 20 miles or so but i think i got it all figured out.
Hello,
So I recently joined up. Got an 04 that I installed lift, new preassembled blue pit bearings, new front 460 calipers & rotors, new CVJ high angle boot axles. New outer tie rods and end links as well.
I have some clicking/grinding/popping coming from the driver's side. At first I attributed it to rubbing from the 285 duratracs. Well I did all the trimming needed and installed spidertrax 1.25 spacers and the noise has not gone away. I have searched my a** off and cannot figure out what is going on here. I even uninstalled everything on the drivers side and reinstalled thinking something was wrong. Bearing is good and tight, no movement. Axle is solid no slack or noise at all. The noise mostly happens on acceleration and is worse when turning left. Does not make the sound turning right at all. I checked everything I could and nothing is rubbing. Dust shield has plenty of clearance. Everything is tight as possible. I contacted CVJ and they mentioned maybe the front diff bearing? How do I check it? Any thoughts on something else it might be?
