When you pull it off, check the inner race of the inner bearing to make sure it 
is a snug fit on the axle. I've seen the late (wrong size) bearing used on 
early cars, leaving about 2mm of radial slop.

If you can feel this slop with the wheels and weight on the ground, then 
suspect the left upper trailing arm attachment to the upper torsion bar.

Just the mechanical click of the switch, or something electrical coming thru 
the speaker?

Turn the key on and ground the lug on the fuel tank sender. That should send 
the dash gauge to F. If it does, then the dash gauge and all the wiring is 
okay.
