For the past week or two when I make a hard right turn I have been hearing a clanking noise coming from Passenger side CV axle, today I jacked it up and turned the wheel all the way to the right and it is definitely looks like the CV axle is wobbling near housing and sound is coming from axle housing.

Check out what it sounds like in this video:

I think I figured it out, basically the section of axle between Center Axle Disconnect and passenger side U-joint is moving around worse when turning right. Something in there near the CAD is supposed to hold in it place but instead it is knocking against axle housing.

Update: My 4x4 is no longer working and the clanking went away. Whatever was rattling around in there has stopped rattling around, I checked the vacuum lines at the CAD and I think the suction is plenty good.
