passenger axle noise

[Dsm2Nv]

So got my car running and theres a big click comming from somewere on the passenger side sounds like a loud clicking noise also just had a recent lsd insert installed if that makes a differene and the axle was also bought from another car car also spins only 1 wheel when its in the air is that normal?

lsd spins one wheel? nope...my old lsd in my monte ss spun both wheels. you jack it up and spin one wheel forward, other went reverse. spin other wheel forward and the other would go reverse. but that was rear end and might be diff for front wheel drive...but sounds like something is broken for sure.

Is your cv boot torn? usually they will start to click when the boot tears and it looses all its grease

Not to steal yout thread, but I am experiencing the same issue with a clicking sound sometimes from the pass. front wheel, but was under the impression that CV joints only made the clicking noise when turning (under stress). Mine does it when driving straight (clicking will increase in rate w/ speed increase) but will go away by simply turning the wheel left or right.

The noise doesnt havent while in reverse at least not that ive noticed the boot was always on bought it off someone so i never ended up checking it for grease anyone no if a fwd spins both wheels while there both off the ground ?

possibly a wheel bearing?

im not sure also if it hels the wheel that dosent move seems to be more stuck then the other one like its hard to turn it turns but a bit harder.

 

[91TSIallday]

i would deffinatly check the bearing. If that goes than that can happen

 

[natertater]

can you wiggle the wheel side to side? grab both sides on the treads and shake it toward front and rear of car. mine wiggles, and i know my one wheel bearing is trashed...lets hope the hub isnt trashed too.

it could be you have the wrong axle i just replaced axles in a maxima with lsd and one wheel wasnt spinning turned out the passenger axle was barely too short, but it looked identical, check the bearing and if thats not the case replace the axle.
