Well, it sounds like one of the U joints on my 95 Sonoma is bad. I hear a ticking/clicking noise at low speed that changes with the wheel speed. Probably time with 175k on the vehicle. I have an appointment to take it in this morning to Christian Bros. I thought it might be a simple repair, but looking at it on Gooble, it seems a bit more involved. Apparently the drive shaft is a two piece drive shaft with a support bearing in the middle. U joints are sealed with some sort of nylon sealant that has to be melted out before it can be removed. Will probably need the support bearing replaced too.
I just spent $2400 on the rear drive axles, wheel bearings and rear brake job in January. This thing is getting expensive to maintain. I figure this is a $400 repair. So, usually I double what I think it's gonna cost and come close to what it actually ends up. It will probably total out to $800 to $1000, LOL.
After action review to follow.
