Suzuki SJ problem

Help! There is a loud clunking noise which sometimes turns to a screech coming from the back driver side wheel area. I thought a problem with the shoes but they are fine. When back wheels are jacked up and driven there is no noise its only when the wheels are on the floor. When jacked up there is no play in the wheel.

bearings collapsed maybe

see if you got oil in your rear diff

ok will check first thing if there is no oil what does that mean? ovb i know its bad but what would it have caused

rubbing metal against metal not good for the diff damage could be to fare gone and may need new one but if lucky its just started,,, have you done anything with the drums lately or anything like that recently you may have tightened them up to tight and crushed the bearings i cant think of what eles it could be if not the brake shoes

With the 2 back wheels jacked up it runs sweet as a nut no play in anything and everything looks as it should. So it only makes the noise when pulling the weight. Could the half shalf be causing it???

could be but dont forget when wheels are off the floor the is no force going against the bearings

would'nt there be some play if they were gone also forgot to mention there feels like a stiff spot while spinning the wheel by hand. it goes stiff in exactly the same spot no matter how many times i spin it. Il strip it all down tommoro guess thats the best idea.

sounds like brakes rubbing to me have a good look see iff you can see any rubbing spots try rubbing some copper grease on the bk on any moving parts such as springs and such when i get a sqeel from brakes that normaly works for me that is it is the brakes mind you lol

It was the bearing thanks.

no problem
