Have had some strange clicking sound from the left rear wheel area,
found the ABS wire harness hold down bracket unattached, reattached noise stopped for a week , now noise is back, bracket still holding ?And whats the deal the upper pin has a rubber all the way through the caliper and is a smaller dia.? How does it slide with that rubber friction ? lower does not and is bigger? but looks like it had some kind of seal just on the end by threads?
Thank you guys in advance..... Sam

Hello Goldwinger.
Yes it could be an axle, It could also be the strut tower The strut bearing is on top of your strut and could be a problem I have seen it before and also the Axle do that, I don't think it would be the steering rack because I think it would do that either way you turn the steering wheel. I would stick with your first thought. Axle, sure sounds like an axle, The Clicking is usually the First indication of that. So I would take it out and check it or just replace it and I think that will solve your problem. If not get back to me and when I get in from the Shop I will check back here and see if you got it or not. Thanks Goldwinger and hope that helps you out some what. Bear001

60 will is the right socket, I'll recomend getting one in 1/2" drive, they can be tight!

The trick is to remove the cap on the brake fluid reservoir on the firewall under the hood before squeezing the caliper. Be sure to replace the cap before attempting to press the brake pedal.

upper bolt in rubber slides with lube on the rubber, the lower has a seal at the end of the bracket but no rubber insert, also needs to be lubed to slide properly
