Default Popping clucking in front passenger side

Popping clunking in front passenger side I jacked it up and changed unjoint and wheel bearing is ok. But with tire jacked off the ground and I spin the wheel it still makes a clunk sound every full turn. Help?

Remove the cad unit, and have a look inside. Could be the bushings have worn out.....

Go gently on the bolts that hold it on. They like to break...... Soak 'em with chems for a couple days before you try and take it apart.

You mean the bolt that hold the can unit on the housing? And if bushing is bad what's the correct name for it so I'd beable to order a new one

Grab a parts manual from the DIY/FAQ section. They will have part numbers for ya, that you can use to search by. Should come up with them fairly quickly. (I don't know the names just off hand... I think they are just 'bushings'.....)

Same thing happened to me:

Was driving along and suddenly driver wheel had horrible clunking. Took wheel off, caliper off, and turned axle and could hear it every turn. Figured it was inside the pumpkin. Gently drove it home as it was dark and near home. Next morning jacked it up and the sound was gone. Turns out, a little tiny rock got caught in somewhere and worked itself out. Just saying, don't get too far worried until you're POSITIVE its a failure somewhere.

I tore it down and the 43337 bushing was have gone. 3 days before it'll be here. The auto parts stores do not carry them.
