I've been hearing a weird noise coming from my front passenger side tire. I thought it was a rock in the break...but wasn't. I jacked it up and removed the tire and didn't see anything. Then i spun the shaft and heard a clunking, rattle noise. Sounded like it was coming from inside the axle...It is 4x4...the noise speeds up as the truck does. I've been driving on it for a month now and it hasn't got any worse...

Any ideas...suggestions

Thanks

 

yeah there is a little plastic bushing in there thats part of the four wheel drive ,you need it and the innenner seal if i can find my paper i can give you the dodge factory part #s found a local dealer who sells a lot of 4x4s he carries in stock , if i remember it wasnt that much thinking less than #25.00 bucks hope that helps some

 

Sounds like a bad ujoint or hub bearing.

 

How well did the hub spin? How long? If it is a hub bearing the hub will get significantly hotter than the other side.

 

Def sounds like u-joint

 

WV Ram...what is the part number?

Thanks...I'll look into it soon

 

Dude! You need to check the ujoints.
