I have noticed a clicking sound coming from my hub. It's very loud when I turn the wheel, sounds like a click/clacking sound. Also sometimes happens when going straight. It's speed sensitive. CV Joints?
Thanks for any help

Axle U joints is my guess

Jack up the front end and spin the tires to see if you can replicate it and figure out if its coming from the ujoint, hub assembly, brakes, etc.

So it's my understanding that my Jeep has u-joint axle shafts but I could swap in some CV joints instead. Is my thinking here correct? U and CV are just different ways of doin the same thing?

Yes you can swap them in. However they are not as strong as the U joint.

Cheaper and stronger? Sounds great! Should I just replace them all now? How many are there?
