Hey all. I have been having an issue with a noise from the front end when going into reverse. It’s a very metallic clunk. It started after I had the car back from the mechanics following a HG job. They removed the axles to take out the engine (I know because I changed the axles before I took it in), so I took it back to the shop and had them look at it. They gave me a diagnosis and it said that the drive axle splines at the outboard hub are worn and making noise when reverse torque is applied. They recommended that the front axle and/or hub be replaced. I don’t think they did a thorough inspection on it (took the axle out). Anyone else had this issue? How hard is it to replace the hub if I have to?
Thanks

Hey thanks for the video. I ended up tearing into the knuckle and pulled the axle. I took it back to Autozone and got it replaced. It helped the noise, but didn’t completely take it away. I don’t know what it could be. I inspected the axle and hub splines and didn’t see anything unusual, no abnormal wear or anything. Could it be something in the drive train? Some have suggested transmission mounts or carrier bearings for the drive shafts? Any suggestions on where to go from here?
Thanks!
