Sigh…..

So today I took out my right (passenger) CV and cleaned it up, re-greased it and re-assembled. In taking it apart there were some pebbles in there from the Moab trip. Nothing major, so I don’t think this caused any damage. I noticed on the piece that the ball bearings ride on there was some wear. This is called the race on the diagram posted by Tom4Bren. LINK.

Unfortunately, still noisy. I am nervous that my front end could be bad. I have not looked at my left yet because the noise appears to be coming from the pass side and the driver side is super clean still after my boot job.

I opened the diff fill plug to check quantity and quality of my front pumpkin. It was full and appears to be really fresh.

I was thinking of pulling the pass side out and doing a test drive. But its such a hassle to re-assemble.

Any suggestions?

Basically the noise is sort of a clicking noise. To me it sounds like one of the ball bearings is bouncing around in the cup that the cv rides in. This sound is intermittent and only happens under acceleration. Typically at around 30 MPH or higher.

In 4 low the noise is almost constant and more of a clunking/clicking noise.
