Click from front end
I have a 92 XJ. I just had the front driver's side wheel bearing replaced. Now I noticed a clicking that sounds/feels like it is coming from the front also. It is loudest at 5-10 mph. Also when I put it in 4WD and turn it there is a loud clunk but not when my wheels are straight.

And it can also be verified using a jack under the front axle and spinning things. .

Sweet thanks for the information. Is there a solid way to determine what side is bad? I looked at both of them today but really couldn't tell, but the only "bad" one I have every really seen had pretty much exploded. Is it something that I need to fix asap if I'm not going to be using the 4wd for a bit?

Please read back on page one for suggested diagnosis.
The axles are turning all the time even if it is not in 4x4 and probably should be addressed or checked to determine if it is an issue or not.
There could be safety issues associated with this possible problem.

And, without knowing what the noise is, nobody can suggest how long it may be good for.
