I've had this clicking (metallic) sound coming from the front left wheel when i brake and turn left, accelerate and brake. Its getting worse and im getting worried. I dont feel anything in the wheel, but it dont sound right. It first started after a trip to the mud hole. I have replaced the cv shafts thinking that was it but it had no change. Thanks for the help.

Bearings need grease or replaced is my guess.

could be something as simple as a big rock in ur tread, i had something like that happin with my old truck.

but ive been having a problem similar to this but its coming from my front right wheel area. im getting worried too, mine only happins when i hit bumps and it rattles.
but it just started happining after i went muddin too. ??

I thought it may be the bearings but when i jack it up there is no play in the wheel when i try to move it around. Its solid.

They may be dry though, from the mudding. If they are greaseable, I'd do that, and if not, well, wait till they go out.

Uhh... Well after I jumped mine, I started hearing those 'rattling' noises if you will, mostly on my right side, however I believe both sides were in trouble. I blew my two front shocks lol, the top part of the shock where the cap is sits there and jingles aggresively on the cylinder when you hit bumps? Check it out... I mean you went muddin, theres a chance lol

how much were new shocks?
that sounds like the problem im having, but when i put weight up front it doesnt act like my shocks are bad.

Yea i dont notice my shocks bad either. I'm going to do some exploratory surgery this weekend. I hope i find something. I read somewhere that it may be my hubs?
