When in four whhel drive. Front end (sounds more so driver side) makes a click/popping noise when turning and accelerating. Possible bad axle joint?

yea uhh....don't use part-time 4x4 on dry pavement. The popping/clicking is the front axle gears telling you they are very unhappy.

Just replaced my front u joints and i had the same thing but now its gone.
But yea mine was bad in the front drivers side too. Im not sure if its due to a shorter shaft or what? $25 for the both front greaseable front u joints.

a bad ujoint is very easy to diagnose. Grab ahold of the shafts on each side of the joint and twist. If there is any movement whatsoever, the ujoint is bad and needs to be replaced.
