Clicking AMC 20 rear end
 

Hi guys,
I hear a click coming from the left rear (driver's side) wheel sometimes
when I initially put a load on it. If I go forward about 5 feet from a dead
stop, I hear it. Then, if I back up from a dead stop, I hear it. I'm
guessing it's the two piece axle going bad from being over HP'd a little.
This is in an '84 CJ with a 360 with a few things added to up the hp a
touch. Any suggestions on just putting in a one-piece replacement (what's a
good one?), or replacing the whole axle with a Dana 44 (or other).
Thanks, Pete

Regular clunking every few feet may indicate broken ring or pinion gears.

Re: Clicking AMC 20 rear end
 

It's not really every few feet. It's just one click just as it gets a load,
then it doesn't do it again. The only time it really does it is when I go
back and forth from forward to reverse, and it's one click in each
direction.

Sounds like your describing "driveline slap" or a loose suspension
bolt.

That can be a U joint in the driveshaft or problems
with the diff setup.

I'd be crawling under and rocking the jeep back and forth
while looking at the U joints and the slip joint.

Will it make this noise if you rock it back and forth by hand?

Hi Pete,
I believe your guess is correct. Try re-torquing it to two hundred
pounds: http://www.----------.com/amc20hub.jpg

Your AMC 20 is stronger than the Dana 44:

Re: Clicking AMC 20 rear end
 

If the hub is coming loose, it won't hurt to take it off and put some thread
locker or sleeve locker on the axle, then torque it down like you say. It
probably won't help, but you never know.

Re: Clicking AMC 20 rear end
 

Geez, thanks Bill. That's great info. I've heard the 20 is a piece of crap
for a long time, but my brother-in-law (who's a mechanic) told me he's heard
they're pretty good. With this info, I think I'll keep it, and do some
4.56's as well. Right now, I've got the 3.31's. You told me a while ago to
put in the 4.56's but I've got at 360 and an NV4500 so I've never had much
of a problem. (Plus, I can bury the needle on the highway way too easy.) I
can see how the low gearing would help off-road though, so I'm gonna do it.
(If nothing else but to slow me down on the highway!)
Thanks
Pete

Bill, just out of curiosity, what did that Javelin run in the 1/4?
