Hey guys. I'm pretty much new when it comes to knowing how to fix jeeps and know what's wrong with them. So I hope you guys can help me.

I've had a ticking noise coming from my left front tire for a few days now. I'm not sure if its a u-joint. Or just a brake indicator telling me my brakes are bad? But I did notice a difference from my left and right wheel.

Can anyone explain if this is the cause or if this is normal? Thank you



Left front. You can see the circular thing in the middle facing me. Sorry i don't know what it's called. And on the right it's facing down. Is this the issue ?

Any rocks in the tread?

I'm having the same issue, I was thinking ball bearings? But idk it's been gape big for awhile now (months) and I haven't seen any rocks in my tread (yea I've looked)

Check my picture and look at the u-joint I was told mine are broken obviously. But I'm not sure if that's the cause of my ticking?

jeeper jason

I will after work and let you know

jeeper jason

I didn't even think about breaks, mine really need a change, could be a break indicator also

mine was ticking. replaced my brakes and replaced my u joint and it stilled ticked. replaced wheel bearing hub assembly a few months later and its much better.

Roughly how much does it cost for a wheel bearing hub?

jeeper jason

If your talking about where the u-joint connects to the shaft I don't think that matters

UVxj

Ya if you could give an estimate about how much that'd be, that would be great!

I got the moog wheel bearing hub assembly from advance auto. it costs 89.99 per hub. you should do both sides when you do 1. I also stacked a coupon to the total price to knock off 25 bucks per hub.
