Clicking noise from right rear...
Hey everyone, I just swapped my 7.5 for an 8.8. Then new 8.8 got new bearings, a mini spool, and moser c-clip eliminators. When I took it out for a test run it started making this clicking/clunking like the right rear drum is wobbleing. I've tried the old drums, different lug nuts, and always check the torque before I left, and after. Does anyone have any idea of what could be doing this?? If you have any idea's let me know!!! THANX A LOT!!!!

RE: Clicking noise from right rear...
are the studs on the new axles the proper size and length? if there is a chance that the wheel doesn't sit properly against the drum, it would cause the drum to wobble and more than likely drag a bit on the shoes, release at random times, and produce a click.
you would probably be able to feel and see this driving down the road, tho.

RE: Clicking noise from right rear...
I haven't taken the car over 40km;s yet, so maybe I am not feeling it due to speed. The wheel while attached to the axle and drum wiggles. I did check the studs on the axles and they were 1/4" longer, so I put lugs on the back that have no cap (so like the stud can go all the way through, i suck at explaining ****) and tightend itdown with the torque wrench. BUT it does wiggle. Would lugs with a deeper counter sink help me?Thanx for the replies, if you can help me out or have any idea's please let me know!!!

RE: Clicking noise from right rear...
are the lugnuts you are using the crown style? or can the stud go right through the center
option a:
option b:
if you have the first one, i'd suggest taking a couple off and looking inside them, and at the end of the stud.
try to decipher if the nut is bottoming out before its actually tight on the wheel.

RE: Clicking noise from right rear...
I only had 3 of them, and I think it still wiggles a little, but I think it may be a little better now. I guess I'll have to take it out and see what happens. I'll probably take the drum off and see if anythings out of wack. Thanx for your time and help mattdel. I'll see what happens and get back on here in a bit
