Replaced Rear Axles
I had replaced the right rear wheel bearing while I was recently out of town in Alabama because of the grinding metal sound and that fixed the issue for a little bit. Shortly after getting back home, I began to develop a clicking/clunking in the rear end that was annoying as all get out. It progressively got louder, more annoying, and embarassing. After doing some research, it sounded as if the inner CV boot/s were shot. I ordered a pair of axles from Raxles (would highly recommend these guys) that arrived yesterday evening. After installing them today, all the annoyance from the rear is gone and it seems to even drive better (unless that is my imagination). Anyhow, if anyone needs some pointers/help with changing rear axles I could offer some advice/help.

what kind of noise was it? Mine have started makng a clicking noise. It's a pop or click noise only when I initially creep or let the clutch out in gear. It's most noticable when I initially reverse.

Yep, Rio...that is how it starts. Only a matter of time before the sounds get worse and you will either be flipping your CV boots or replacing them.
