I've been having a strange sound for a long time and I can't figure it out, maybe its "normal." Last year, we were drifting on the frozen lake when suddenly there was a "pop" from the front end. The dealer had me replace the front diff saying it was damaged. I did this. I havent really put any time on the machine since the repair but a couple of days ago I moved it to work on it and it seemed something in the front end is still "clicking" when i turn the steering wheel far to the left (maybe the right too but def to the left, ill check). Is this slight "clicking" normal. Its not a loud audible click, but a slight one that i can also feel in the steering. Strange. I thought it might be the tread of my tires but i really dont think so. Any thoughts? Thank You

There are hundreds of threads on this clicking noise do a search but some of us have found tightening the castle nut or a chim fixes this prob

Thanks Ken, I should have searched first. Darn, after searching I realized I do actually have a problem. Other people's accounts of their problems couldn't sound any more like what mine is doing. Now the question is, which one of their "fixes" is going to apply to me? I'm on my way to picking up a 24-pack to figure this one out. Still kinda wish it could just have been "normal"......

No probkem. mine did it as well and mine was an easy 5 min fix. Mine was the hub castle nut i just tightened it a little more no biggy good luck

Most people including myself that had the problem had to add a shim because the nut wouldn't tighten quite enough. The dealer did the work on mine in the end.
