Click Click Or Clunk Clunk In Reverse, Suspected Cv Joint But Not

[ManicMark]

Hi

2 days ago I got a ryhtmic click click noise when I reversed out of my driveway, I could feel it also. It felt like an outside CV joint gone, it also sounded like it came from the near side. Didn't happen driving forwards though.

Yesterday I jacked it up & checked the joints nothing on the left hand side, so around to the right spun the wheel and could feel a tight spot only on turning the wheel backwards. checked the joints all seemed OK ,

I then removed the disc thinking maybe a spring had broke on the handbrake shoes. Turns out there was a fair bit of brake dust cleaned it out reassembled & adjusted the handbrake shoes & now all is fine. It really felt like a seized cv joint.

Just thought I would post it before anyone goes out & gets their drive shaft joints replaced without need.
