My 96 Edorado started making a clicking noise in the left front tire everytime I make a right hand turns. I took the tire,calaber,and rotor off and swapted tires but, couldn’t find any witness marks. I have 62,600 miles on the car. I took it to the dealer and he wants to take the transmission out. Big money. Anyone have any better ideas?

Sounds like a constant velocity joint, take the car to a large car park and test it out on full lock in both directions to confirm. Then check for any play in the CV joints.

CV joint wear can be hard to detect if it’s marginal, but they are certainly cheaper to replace than a transmission. I’d find a good indy Cadillac tech if I were you.
