Default Grand Cherokee CRD Front noise clicking Advice

Hi guys

Has some howling in recent month or so can hear it between about 40-60 then seems to clear front the front end

Now on slow speed i can hear some clicking similar to when a driveshaft clicks around corners

Does it in reverse and forwards

Any ideas

Thanks

Jack up the front end and slowly rotate the front tires by hand. Sometimes you can feel a slight hesitation in the rotation if a CV joint is bad. This only works in 2wd or with the front driveshaft removed.

Check ALL of your U joints. Mine sounded horrible until I had them all changed out. There is something like 8 of them to change out. Also check your CV joint for problems.
