I heard this clicking today form my front left wheel so i took a look and my knuckle, or u joint, oryolk or what ever it is calledright behind the rotor that connects the axle with the hub is shot. What do i have to do to fix the problum and were is the best place to get the part?There is also some fluid coming from the axle shaft. Any help is great
Thanks

That would be a shot u-joint, and the fluid leaking out of the axle tube means you have a shot axle seal. Doing the u-joints really are not hard. The only thing i had diffuculty with is pushing the u-joints out the the yoke.

 

are6mr2, If the left side is shot, do the right side too. I did just the left side on my 99 in Dec, not doing the right because of time constraints. Well, less than 200 miles later the right side started to click too. Figure they are the same age, and get the same wear, so they both go about the same time...

 

sounds like the u-joint

 

thanks guys
