It could be the wheel bearings if you havent checked already. Also, is it for sure from the front wheel or could it be coming from below the drivers feet. I had this problem and the sound was tricking me on where it was coming from. Anyways that turned out to be the radius arm bushings
 












Wheel bearing replaced a year ago And it just does it at low speeds and comes and goes . New tie rods and all steering pump. Gear box hoses
 






Mine makes a clicking sound now and then when I'm turning. I think it's the front u joints. They look pretty bad. They are on the TO DO LIST.
 












On mine it's when the wheels are turned.
 












When I looked at them you could see the cups were pulling away from the joint. The first time it made a loud clunk while I was turning. I thought for sure I broke something.
 






bad u joint...

Megadeth...This is my u-joint on the drivers side front wheel. Might be worth checking out.
 






i had a click but its from my rotor being warped and hitting the pad. the pad is loose so it does it until i hit the brakes
 






Front u jounts are new going to replace front pads tomorrow and check it out. Could be the u joints on front axel couldn't it.
 






Could be worn ball joints, could be a missing anti rattle clip for the brake pads?
 






First thing I would've checked is ball joints.
 






i too am having a clicking sound when in 4x4 coming from front end. It happens when only going foward, and it does it straight and turned....

ball joints have been replaced year ago, u joints 3 months ago, wheel bearings 6 months ago, and hub bearings replaced too....

My fronts arent hooking up while in 4x4... any suggestions would help cuz im running out of ideas. thanks

Brad
