Noise in rear axle

Hi all

I seem to be hearing a "kluk, kluk" noise coming from the right rear wheel ever so often.
It mainly happens on with a bit of steering turn and moving over uneven ground or going off of a kerb.

Can't be diff backlash, because it's only on the 1 wheel.
If I stand on the wheel and rock it side to side I can hear it sometimes.

Not sure if it is something or it's just my OCD doing it's thing.

Any thoughts ?

Dustin I had it that the caliper nut came loose and every now and then I heard this clak clak....
Maybe just jack the vehicle up and check those nuts and same time check wheel bearing play specially in out movement :salute:

Also check if your sway bar connects are not shot, they can make some noise when they are worn out

Had a quick look at lunch.
It was the sway bar nuts at the chassis mount. Was loosened.
All sorted.
Thanks again :thumbup:

Agreed !
Awesome bunch of guys here.

What irritated me to no end is I looked and didn't see anything initially until it was mentioned here :redface:
Oh well, you live and learn I suppose :biggrin:
