Front drive train on F250 FX4

I have noticed a popping noise and feel in the wheel on hard turns, even at slow speeds. I lifted the front of the truck with jacks and checked the wheels for any lose feel or any obvious issues, none found. I then checked where the drive shaft exits the tranny and attaches to the front wheel. the driver side is tight no lose parts, the passenger side has a lose part around the axle itself, it is where the drive shaft exits the housing and then turns into a horse shoe shape and attaches to the wheel, you can turn it with your finger tips. Is this just a dust cover or another issue? Is something broke in the front drive train? My only option is to take it apart, my problem is I just dont have the time to go without a vehicle or do I have a spare vehicle. My goal is someone may have a clue and point me in the right direction on it and save me some time and $$$. Thanks! WesL
