Default extreme rattling, knocking when turning

I checked the search and couldnt find nothing helpful so here we go. Gradually the jeeps been makin a louder and louder noise while turning as the weeks go on. i turned the wheels and jacked it up and when i spun the wheels it was some hardcore rattling. wheel bearings or u-joints? its been parked for a week cause i dont want the wheels lockin up or anything and i havent got a chance to investigate cause iv been sick so anybody have any ideas? and know what this fix might cost? thank you much

could be CV joints and you might check your tie rods see if the rubber cushion is still there but these are just ideas

It sounds more like the u-joint/CV at the hub area to me. Which do you have? To check for a bad/loose hub bearing, raise it up a little and grab the tire at 12 and 6 o'clock positions. Wiggle the tire in and out towards center of truck checking for play. If no play is evident I'd say it's the u-joint (or CV) at the hub. JMO
