'97 Bravada-front end clicking noise
I just replaced my transmission in my Bravada and got everything back together. Took it out for a drive and now I have a clicking noise that can be heard coming from the front end. The truck sat for about four months when the tranny went out before I could afford to get it replaced.
The noise is definitely from either the CV joints or the differential, as I put the truck up on jackstands and turned the wheels by hand and could hear the noise when I turned the tires. The diff was a little low on fluid and I topped that off but I still hear the noise. Having just laid out almost $1000 on getting a tranny and having somebody remove the top four bolts(what a PITA that is) and then re-install tranny(I did transfer case and drive shafts) I really can' afford another big cost. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Sounds like the CV joints but you can take one of the front wheels off and see it the rotor is rusty and dragging the brake pads & making a noise.

Re: '97 Bravada-front end clicking noise
I already looked at the rotors...they're good. The clicking is either the cv or diff. I think that it is coming from the diff but I can't be 100% sure. If it is the diff, what are the possible issues? I can fix almost anything if I can find out what it is.

Re: '97 Bravada-front end clicking noise
I don't know about a clicking differential, the ones I kill are more heavy clunka/clanka noises before it locks up completely or quits pulling.

Re: '97 Bravada-front end clicking noise
Try cranking the wheel all the way to one side and see if it's worse. If it is its most likely the cv shaft.
