Rear wheel noise
Hello everyone,
This is my first post as a semi new c3 owner. I've got a '76 c3 that's making a little noise at the passenger side rear tire. From 0-10mph I'm hearing and feeling a ticking and bumping. Once I get over 10mph it's totally fine. I figured I'd post this asking before I start taking things apart. Am I on the right track thinking its a bad U joint? I haven't had the time to jack it up and get under there to look, but I'd love to hear what some of you all think. Thanks in advance for pointers!
John

John search my posts..I just posted about a similar noise in my 71. Check the pics..I believe mine was due to ride height..but it could also be a bad side yoke..they tend to wear and drop the c clip inside the diff. I had that issue on my 77. Good luck, Bill
