There is a “ratcheting sound� coming from the driver’s side front wheel in my wife’s 98 Kick. At highway speed it turns to a hummmmmm.
I propped up the front end this weekend and took off both wheels. The drivers side has a slight ratcheting sound when rotating the wheel. Its louder when rotating backwards, but is still there when rotating forwards. There is about 1/8 inch play in the side axle from the hub to the front end.
On the passenger side there is less/almost no play in the side axle and no ratcheting sound.ÂÂ
BUT the axle rotates when I rotate the wheel. The axle
DOES NOT rotate on the drivers side.
Both hubs were unlocked.
What gives??
