Hi guys, I've got an issue with my front axle that j can't seem to pinpoint. Whenever I drive I get a clicking noise that has gotten progressively worse and more frequent over the past year. It used to do it very infrequently, sometimes over bumps, now it makes the noise all of the time whenever the truck is moving. It sounds rotational but I don't think it actually is because it clicks more frequently over rough surfaces even at low speeds than it does over smooth surfaces at higher speeds. If I'm stopped facing downhill and I quickly cycle the brakes it will consistently make a click when the brakes are released very quickly, and when the brakes are applied when driving the clicking stops. I changed the calipers a couple years ago when one was locking up and recently I've changed the rotors, pads, wheel bearings and seals, caliper pins, radius arm bushings, and tires. It seems to be more prominent on the passenger side and when I went under to try to feel it I feel it in the traction beam not the shafts or caliper. It sounds kind of like the axles rattling in the hub. Has anyone had this noise and fixed it?
