when im drivin theres a clicking sound at my front wheels. is it the CV's or what? also, should i fix this before i put on bj spacers and crank my tbars out a little?

when i full lock to one side i think its to the left which is my passenger side, the runner doesnt like it, and it makes a really loud ticking sound i think thats the best way to describe it, ummm i think it is my CV joint but havent had enough info to make sure of it or not???

Manual hubs or does it have the ADD front axle?

yoder519

yea it has manuel hubs

all i know is that my runner has independent rather then straight thru, lol its probably irrelevant, tot eh question, but i do think i need to replace my cv joint it said it was cracked on the test papers when i purchased it, just been lazy, been to worried about putting bigger tires on it and making it look better on the inside!!!

yea i hear ya brother! same hear except tires/lift

Does it click when the hubs are unlocked? If it only clicks while they are locked then I would guess the cv joint(s) are gone.

yea it only clicks when theyre unlocked. i really havnt paid attention to see if it does it when theyre locked in

If hubs unlocked (and they are actually unlocking), then the CV joints will not (or should not) be turning. Might be worth rebuilding the front hubs and see if that helps:

well it kinda to me sounds like its just the right side that makes the sound. so should i just rebuild the right one or go ahead and rebuild both?

Probably wise to do both sides, but try the right side first. Once you clean up the parts, you may see if anything is worn or damaged and can go from there.
