Lite click from driver front wheel
I havent torn into it yet but i have a lite click sound coming from the drivers front wheel area. Hub seems to be unlocking and bearings feel snug. Its a rolling click. Just asking so i may have a little better insight when i tear it down to find it.

Its a 92 with manual hubs. Im kinda guessing wheel bearings. Cv’s and all are in good shape. Its clicking while unlocked and i have verified the axels arent rotating.

Ive been putting it off for a bit so i can get everything ready to just go ahead and rebuild the front from hub to hub new gears and lockers and all but i dont want to tear it up now either.

Jack up that tire and spin the wheel. Bearings don't usually click (you can feel a 'rumbling' when turning the wheel by hand), but this will be an easy way to narrow down where to look.

I'll bet it's your manual hub, a wheel bearing issue would be there whether you locked the hub or not, the CV would only be there when the hub was locked or you were in 4wd (when it is spinning).
take your left locking hub apart and make sure it is assembled correctly (fully disengaging) or if you can duplicate the noise by jacking up the front and rolling it by hand then take the hub off and see if the clicking is gone.
