CV joint (?) clicking - but which one?

Mornin'

The bus has developed a regular click-click-click from the rear axle area on right-hand bends and roundabouts; it's silent on left-hand bends.

A friend and I have changed the left-hand inner CV joint, but the clicking is still there.

Which joint is it most likely to be, or is there anything else which can make a similar noise that I can investigate?

Cheers :?

i sometimes get stones in the tread of the tires that makes annoying clicking noises but I doubt it is that.

You could try and give the Drive shaft a good wiggle about to spread the grease about a bit - if the noise continues then I don't know

Take both off and swap 'em over - something% more wear!

Should stop the clicking for some considerable period of time.

Joints aren't exactly expensive from jolly old GSF and they're GKN ones, so shouldn't be utter rubbish.....
