Clicking noise from rear end?
hey, i got a 92 toy truck 4x4 and these past couple of days it has been making a clicking sound from the rear end. i also have noticed that is has a little bit of vibration going down the road so i think it is the u-joint. just figured i ask you guys first.

lol, i wish it was a honda under there. it has gotten alot louder and now it is more of a squealing sound and it is only when it is under a load, like when i give her some gas. could it possibly be the wheel bearings?

could be the drive shaft bearing if you have a 2 piece. Hopefully not your differential, try draining the fluid and look at the magnetic bolt insert and see if it is covered in metal slivers, if it could be that, anyway.

i kinda was thinking that it was the driveshaft bearing, i can hear it really good on the driver side, and sounds like it is close to the driveline. its starting piss me off cause it is really getting loud.

I had a bad u joint that would squeal when under a load and when I dumped the clutch. The clicking noise pretty much gives it away that it's a u joint. Make sure your problem it's a u joint first as center bearings are expensive.

i had a click in my rear end that came out of nowhere one day. got louder and louder the closer i got to home -- turned out that my pinion had failed and 3 teeth were in the bottom.

This sounds similar to what I'm experiencing.
I have a 97 4Runner Limited (4x4), I've been experiencing a scraping, rattling, & vibration (the vibration is only @ highway speeds). This noise as far as I can tell is coming from either below me or in the rear end somewhere.
It started out as a little noise, I could only hear the rattling when you stopped & took off. Now I can hear & feel all of this at highways speeds. The vehicle now has 174,000 miles on it. I'm mechanical to a point, but this is beyond my skills.
Any advice from my fellow Toyota Friends would be completely appreciated!

i took at greased my u-joints last night but they still are doing it. i am going to take and get new u-joints within the next week or so. this sound it getting really annoying, now it is just a constant squeak, and it does vibrate when i go down the road, and when i take off it vibrates pretty bad.

I had a clicking noise on my left rear for about a month. (toyota yaris) I talked with a guy that had the same problem and he said he fixed it by tightening or adjusting the e-break in the drum. I watched some youtube videos of people doing it, and i didn't want to mess with it. I was getting my car deep cleaned while i was reading a bunch of forums about this issue. when i got back into my car, the clicking was gone. wtf? guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
PS the car doesn't get a ton of use and it hadn't been cleaned for about 6 months
