I have a '97 V6 with 73k miles. Have a clicking noise at very low speed and a steering wheel shimmy at speeds above 50 or so. Lifting the front end reveals nothing- tie rod ends are relatively new( takes care of wheel shimmy)and no clicking noise whenI spin tires.

Lifting the rear end and running vehicle reveals nothing either.

I suspect wheel bearings( clicking noiseresult of vehicle weight on hub assembly), although not sure which side. I realize hub assembly is not serviceable, but before I dig deeper was hoping someone has had similar experience. Thanks for any replies.

 

Check wheel alignment and balance if you are getting wheel shimmy. New tie rods themselves will not correct the problem.

 

This may sound simple, but, a nail in a tire will make that sound, also, ujoints
