johnceggleston Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 2000 leagacy wagon auto trans w/ 85k miles. the right front wheel bearing was making noise and i wanted to swap in outback struts, so i did the fronts last week. replacing the struts are easy. i had some trouble with the ball joint when removing the knuckle. and i may have ''over extended'' the outer CV joint. i left the ball joint for last so the knuckle was flopping around a little as i was working on it. i took the knuckle to a local machine shop, $50 the press in the bearing, $45, for the bearing, and $15 for the 2 seals. $115 later i was back installing it all. any way, when i got it back together and test drove it it ran and drove fine. but the next day during a U-turn to the left, i heard the clicking . i'm pretty sure it does it in both directions. Q. any chance i can open the boot and put this thing back together as it should be so it will not click.? or am i screwed and need to replace it? thanks, john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 make certain the inner joint's splines are pushed into the diff all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
