Default click-clack sound while reversing full-lock DS front

today I heard a click-clack sound while reverse parking, DS front

Is this likely to be uni-joint fail symptom

can it be anything else?

will have to get under and check it for play, over the next couple of days

anyone know the Spicer part num off the top of the head?

Prolly a uni binding, or brake pads movin around. I would get it off rockauto. I got the wrong part, the mechanic tried to put it in but was too small. Make sure its the correct part, as mines a 95 its a mess of which joint it could be....

I have this same issue. To make it appear worse, put your car in 4Low on the dirt obviously, then load up the car with the brake hard pressed.... youll probably hear a lovely click when you load it up every time. I ordered the correct 1.188" diameter uni joints. Got the smaller ones by accident..
