'02 Yukon/Tahoe front CV Shaft bad? Help. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DURG** · 02-26-2013, 07:35 PM

SERIOUS clicking snapping from the left front wheel area when wheel turned all the way to the left and backing up slow or going forward and slowing for a sharp left turn. Thinking CV joint/shaft. Slight play when pulling on it by hand but not a ton of play. Never worked on one of these before. Any special tools or pullers or anything needed and does this sound like a reasonable diagnosis? Any help/input/tips are appreciated. Looks like just pull the rotor and front hub, split the inboard joint, and pull spindle too? Thanks in advance, Durg.

Ball joints or wheel hub

I have 2 new Timken hubs ordered. I changed out front rotors and pads and rear pads today. The rear emergency brakes backing plate/dust guards were rotted and crumbling and a piece was jammed against rotor making a little grinding noise but I still have the same noises so I will wait and see after I change out the front wheel hubs and bearings. I put the grease right to both upper and lower ball joints also. Thanks.
