Clicking noise when turning

[Derek Powers]

I have a mysterious clicking noise coming from the driver side when turning left. Naturally thought it was the wheel bearing so I changed it. Still doing it. U joint is tight and no rust signs of failure. Any ideas?

My guess would be the CV axle.

Thank you @RamCares .

@Blackdodge2010 It only does it turning left. What else would make that noise besides the u joint? Its tight as new

Same exact thing happened to me at like 20,000 miles. Dealer changed the wheel bearings and it didnt fix it. Ended up being an upper ball joint..... no joke

Let the dealer have it while I was gone and they are saying that it's in the transfer case?

To me that makes no sense.

Me either. It doesn't make the noise when in 4H so I'm hot sure what else it could be. Something in the front axle? Can't really afford to take a gamble with $3k for a new t case.
