Weird clicking noise

[mopar4u]

Been doing this for a couple years. Clicking noise when driving about 10 mph or slower. I can hear it mostly when braking for a stop sign, usually just 2 or 3 clicks depending on how long I stay at that speed. It does it when cornering or going straight. Kinda sounds like it is coming from the front but not 100% sure, it's hard to tell.

The noise sounds like if you had a rock stuck in your tire and you could hear it click each time it comes around. I've checked and its not a rock in the tire.

I've replaced both front hubs noise still there
I've replaced rotors and pads noise still there

Saw a couple posts mention a loose screw in the rims but I've got aluminum rims. Don't think I have screws anywhere???

Any ideas?

It's most likely the CV joint on the transfer case end of the front driveshaft. Easy fix - and pretty cheap now, too. Get the part from driveshaftparts.com for about $55 plus shipping.

Here's a How-To showing how to change the part.

Let us know what you do!

I just checked the rear and front boots on the front drive shaft, both are all in tact. Area around boot is dry, no grease.

I've been getting a little bit of flapping in 4… haven't done any testing on it though to get more details.
