Clunk in front end after hub assembly change


Recommended Posts

So I just replaced my wheel hub assemblies and, holy crap, I never realized how much noise they were making.

 

Anyway, the driver side was a total pain, used a combination of insane hammering and a trick I saw posted where you use a socket extension and turn the wheel to use power steering to pop the assembly out. When we did get it out, I almost completely pulled the axle out on accident.

 

The passenger side came out with minimal effort.

 

The problem is now I'm getting this "clunk" sound when turning slowly - like when I'm parking and making sharp turns. The only thing I can find that appears loose is the driver side u-joint. I can wiggle it around, the passenger side doesn't budge at all. But it's not like a ton of play, and sometimes I can feel the clunk on the floor board so I feel like there's something else going on.

 

Any thoughts?
