Often times under load, the "click" will diminish, or completely go away
because the lateral pressure applied isn't sufficient to overcome the
friction in the joints loaded condition to shift the joint - it all depends
upon the condition of the joint itself and the loading involved- If it's
really sloppy then it'll make noise all the time (and would probably be a
good candidate for replacement. If it's just a tad loose then you may not
notice it terribly. That is until it becomes really sloppy -
