Subject:      clicking right front wheel
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Ok, noticing a slight clicking at front right wheel, 82 diesel westy. Thought it was a loose creaky hubcap, so took that off to check. Still clicks. Jacked up wheel, turn it, no click. checked thrust washer, seems ok maybe slightly tight but can move with screwdriver. Nut can move forward and back slightly though. This is an "on/off" type click. Wheel bearing or brake pad? Wheel weight?

Within last 6 months, re-packed bearings with grease, seemed in good shape.
