Hi Pete,
I believe your guess is correct. Try re-torquing it to two hundred

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
