Rear end clicking noise at speed.

I have a 2015 TRD sport v6, auto with 4.88 gears, 4WD.

I have developed this really loud ticking noise from the rear of the truck at hwy speeds, I think it occurs all the time but it’s louder at higher speed, 45+.

It may have all started when I replaced my front LCA bushings and my VCS light came on due to my alignment being out of wack.

I drove the truck to an alignment shop that way and it was making a weird grinding noise, almost like the truck would attempt to apply brakes to individual wheels like traction control. I don’t know if this is related, but the ticking noise started shortly after.

Ive checked for loose components all over the rear end, suspension etc.


Has this happened to anyone else? I am lost here.

Thanks!

 

Clicking noise can be a driveshaft ujoint. The part about the alignment is puzzling though.


I'd Jack it up and spin it around by hand, maybe yhstl give a better idea of where.

 

I was hoping it would be a u-joint. I’ve always regularly greased them all. I applied more grease but no change.
