Driving to work today and heard a clicking sound from the right rear as I was passing a wall. Pretty sure it is the u-joints, but thought I would ask if it could be anything else, like the rear hub?

Thanks

BTW: Sounds like two golf ***** being knocked together.

 

When catalytic converters are failing, they sometimes make a similar noise when you are driving up against a wall such as a drive-through window. You hear the echo bouncing back off the wall....

The lousy two-piece capped-style lug nuts also make this type of sound when the caps get loose and start to rattle. Some owners in the S-Type section have spent months chasing the source of that sound until they finally read about the lug nut issue....

 

My mechanic looked at and everything looked ok, until hit tried greasing the u-joints. Each one took 5 pumps and he said he never had to put more than 2 in any other car.

Long story short, no more clicking!!!
