Which joint did you change? The drive shaft joint? Knuckel?
You make no sense.
Could have dropped a needle bearing... they click when you do that.

May have put it in backwards as in the ujoint. My thought is the grease valve may be hitting the knuckle when it rotates. But this is just a guess. Honestly I would take the front drive shaft out and see if the noise goes away. If it does I'd probably pull the joints to see if any needles had fallen out while installing them. Hopefully you have a press to make this quick and easy. That's just my two cents and what I would do to try and solve the issue. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Well if it still makes the sound when you take out the front drive line then it can't be the front driveline causing the noise issue you are hearing.

Do the opposite, take out the rear drive shaft and drive around the block with only the front in. Use like a rubber glove or something if you don't have a sye to stop tranny/xcase fluid from running out.

The drive line consists of the engine, transmission, transfer case, Drive shafts, and the axles.
I think you are saying that your front drive shaft is making a noise and that it is coming from the cardan joint area. If this is true there are two u joints and the ball and socket that make up the cardan joint, find out what is bad and replace it.
Pretty basic.
