Clicking in Front End
 
The drivers side of my 99 RCLB 24v is clicking all the time. It almost sounds like there is a rock in the center cap, which there isn't. Is this a good sign I need new hubs?
Any help appreciated!

Sounds like a U-joint to me.

u-joint.

I third that motion. crawl under there and try to move the joint up and down or side to side. You can do a quick visual inspection and it they are covered in a rust stain they are toast. If its a greasable one you can try to add some grease and if it does go in pay attention to what gets pushed out b4 the grease. water or rusty water its toast. If it wont take grease at all its done as well

Will you are under there to check the u-joints check the lower bolts that hold the shock to the axle.For some reason they need to be very tight. Check the hub bearing assembly on the drivers side to.

U joint is fine, its not greaseable but theres no movement or play in it. Took the wheel off and rotated the hub and there was no clicking. I visually inspected everything else, and all looked well. Put the tires back on, it clicked pulling it out of the garage and hasn't ever since. Priced new hubs and u-joints and I'll probably end up doing them soon anyways as a Preventative Maint.
