    Hello all,

    Recently I’ve developed this clicking coming from the back left of my truck. It only occurs above 10mph when turning left. It is speed dependent making me think it’s drivetrain not suspension. Let me know what you all think. Here is a video doing a wide circle in a parking lot.

    It only occurs from about 10-20mph no faster no slower. Sharpness of turn doesn’t seem to matter. It clicks at the slightest hint of a left turn.

    Recent maintenance included new ties going from 265/70r16 to 265/75r16 and changing all differential fluid with mobile 1 75w90. No shavings we’re found in the old oil.

    Thanks in advance!

    Jacked up the rear end today. Checked the wheel bearings for play and spun the tires as hard as I could in an attempt to replicate the noise and had no such luck. No binding or noise of any sort from the drivetrain just the very slightest sound of the brake shoes making contact once per revolution. Still looking for any kind of feedback or ideas.

    Thanks all!

    It doesn't seem like suspension since you can hear the suspension squeaking independent from the noise in question. I have no idea what it could be in the drivetrain to cause the problem in that specific of a circumstance.

    Maybe try different gopro placements to further diagnose?

    Just got the leaf springs replaced last week on recall and haven’t heard a peep since. I guess they do put those things out for a reason.

    Was one of your old leafs cracked by any chance?
