I went and drove thru a couple of mud puddles and now when I turn to the right I hear a loud click noise on the drives side. Any idea what this is and how can I fix it... I looked under the front end and I dont see anything that looks broken or hanging down.... I lost!!!!

 

Might be an axle u-joint getting ready to crap out on ya!!!

 

How do I find out for sure and how long till it blows up??

 

Did it do it only once or does it keep doing it?
Many times a u-joint will make noise after a trip through standing water. It doesn't always mean that a U-joint is bad. Do you have greasable joints?

Climb underneath the Jeep. Grab the axle shaft where it comes out of the tube heading into the yoke(the part that is enlarged and the u-joint is in the middle). Try wiggling it both directions. Slop in there will let you know the joint is really toasted and needs replaced now.

 

Yes it looks like I have greasable joints...

Ok I went and out and grabbed the axle shaft and tryed to move it... no real luck. So now what?

 

Sounds like u-joint is going bad

 

If they are greasable try to grease them you will most likley need a needle adapter for your grease gun.

 

Another thing to check is the wheel stops. Where steel meets steel when you turn the wheel all the way to one side. If it got wet and muddy, then dry, it may pop loudly. Rub a lil heavy grease on the contact surface and it may help. Of course check what the other guy's posted first!
