Been hearing a "clicking" from the rear that is speed dependant...  Does not
occur when idling, or when parked with reving to any  rpm.
assuming I need new CV joint, thought I'd go ahead and replace  both.
Bentley makes it look easy.
Where is the best place to get CV  joints? Any best practices?

Thank you!!


Unless  the car has been converted to IRS, there are no CV joints on a 68. 
However,  the clicking you are hearing might be the drum/hub nut coming 
loose or  fretting. If you're still using stock rims and hub caps, it could also 
be the  lug nuts backing off slightly, or a chunk of rust, or a rock inside 
the  hub cap moving around. Check all of these items first, as they're easy 
to fix.  Otherwise, you're looking at the replacing the axle bearing, IF 
you're sure  that's where the sound is from.
