I recently changed my cv axle on the driver side on my 01 Durango, And an interesting clicking sound was noticed today, When I took off the tire to have a check I noticed the axle seemed to have pulled away from the spindle near the transaxle about an inch.
Any suggestions ???

 

Could be the incorrect CV half shaft. I think the right and left sides are different part numbers for that reason. Double check your part numbers.

 

Well it seemed reasonable, I mean parts can get mixed some times , so I got another one and put it on........ Clicking is still there .
this time I drove it around to be able to put a better explanation out here. This clicking is coming from the driver side front and is only heard when I accelorate. So I decieded to look elsewere , I noticed the Oil level was very very low.......
I added a couple quarts but clicking remains. Running out of ideas fast on this one !

 

did you check the trans fluid level? and the fluid level in the transfer case?? if either are low it can create odd sounds

 

Maybe a screw/nail stuck in the tire?...

 

Is the new CV fully seated correctly now?

 

Yes the Cv is fully seated it turned out I was sent the wrong one So I exchanged it and replaced. And I figured out what my clicking sound was..... driveshaft, from transfercase to transmission. Thanks for all your suggestions very helpful !!

 

Thank you for the update!
