    Cool Rotating Clicking sound from rear axle area

    My question is I had a right rear axle seal leaking so the dealer preformed a TSB and replaced both right and left axle's, and bearing and seals. Now my car has a rotating clicking sound that I only noticed after I pick up the car when I was turing right. I took the car back and left it for another week and the tech said he adjusted the parking brake shoe and the concern is gone. Well it is not and before I take the car apart my self does any one have any Idea's. Thank you for your time. 03mmcorpus


    Thank you for the information but I have found out the sound is comming from the parking brake shoe area and the inside of the rotor has a rust ring that the shoe is hitting. I think I will have the dealer install two new rear rotors and adjust the rear parking brakes. I will let you no how it turns out.

    Sounds like they forgot the "Friction Modifier" in the gear oil??

    Posi-Trac clutches will click and pop going around turns without it!!

    Try a 4 ounce bottle first.....I'll bet they forgot it as most big Ford cars and trucks don't have Posi's??
