[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 973723, member: 52972"] AWD or 4X4 it has front drive axles which have CV joints. Bad CV joints typically make a noticable clicking or poping sound particularly when turning. You can sometimes hear it when going straight if you hit a bump or accelerate or brake since that flexes the suspension and changes the CV joint angles and stresses the bearings....That's why the click or pop. Look under you truck and look at the inner and outter axle boots for tears in the rubber and signs of the grease leaking out. When the boots crack open, the grease leaks out, dirt gets in, and soon the CV bearings start to wear and go bad. ....Rich [/QUOTE]
