clicking noise from front wheels
My 2004 expedition 4x4 is making a loud clicking noise coming from both front wheels. Its only when turning, right or left. It doesn't do it when going straight. The tighter the turn the more constant and louder the clicking gets. I've tried it in both 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive. Makes the same noise in both drives. Anyone have any thoughts on what this might be.

Sounds like your front CV joints are shot.
Is it on all turns, or just really sharp ones?

but, BEFORE you start, make sure you have a 35mm and 36mm socket. the old nut will most likely be 35mm, and the new one 36mm. Go figure. Also, sounds like you might be up there in mileage - might be worth replacing the hubs while you've got it torn apart as well.
