So driving home the other day, I became aware of a clicking noise coming from the front left axle. Since its AWD I figured it has something to do with the axle. The clicking noise almost completely disappears when, I feather the throttle to a certian position. It also gets signifincantly worse when I start turning?

Here is the kicker, 2 years ago, almost to the day, the front drive shaft, hub and bearing were replaced. There has been less than 15,000 miles since then.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
David
 






Check your axle hubs and u joints.
 






Ok, so I will probably just replace the hub.

Is replacing the hub fairly straight forward? It just looks like three bolts.


Thanks,
David
