Constant, loud front end clunking

[Catchin Zs]

I've been having this problem for quite some time. As you can hear in the video, the sound is pretty loud. But, it stops when I hit the brakes. My first thoughts are: Wheel bearings and or cv's (the cv's have a bit of play in them).
Anyone want to shed some light on this? I need to get this sound fixed, don't want to run into any problems hauling ass through the woods..

hmm, out of all my front end problems, I didn't have that noise. Not sure what that might be. I would get the CV's replaced tho since they shouldn't have play in them.

Oh wow never heard anything like that either and I've had to rebuild my whole front end! Hope ya get it figured out bud! The CVs would be a good start as stated above since I'm pretty sure they shouldn't have play in em though!

sounds alot like a wheel berring i would jack the ft end up and check that out pronto

 

[98sporttj]

my jeep tj made the same noise once... the the bearing exploded and i almost lost the ft end...

Aright I'll check it all out as soon as I can, thanks guys. How much do OEM cv's run? I might just upgrade to the KORE's if they're pretty high priced....

 

[98sporttj]

y do oem do you have a builder where you live... like someone who rebuilds alt and starters... i would rather susport a local business than oem.. same quality and cheaper

 

[bigbadram1500]

oem cv's are a couple hundred bucks

Like.... 300ish a piece? And that's JUST for the joints?

 

[bigbadram1500]

it's for the whole thing, shaft and boots, like around 250, from what I have seen.

 

[Catchin Zs]

I don't really have need for the shafts, just the joints are shot. So I would be fine with buying only the Kore cv's?

 

[bigbadram1500]

I've just had the entire assembly replaced because the boots have busted open. Not sure about just replacing the joints. Hopefully somebody will chime in about them.

Pretty sure the boots are covered in grease, so I think it's time to replace them.. Anything else worth replacing while I'm at it? 126k on the truck
