    Howdy, everyone. I have my truck in the air to put on some Rago fab shackle hangers and I noticed this noise when I spun the wheels. I saw a YouTube video of someone with a very similar noise and they said it was bad spider gears but I was hoping to get a second opinion.

    It seems like spinning the passenger side won’t turn the driveshaft at all and just makes the clicking sound, whereas the drivers side turns the driveshaft intermittently and only makes the clicking sound once the driveshaft stops turning.

    Anyways, if anyone has any thoughts or opinions I’d love to hear them. Thanks
