Hub clicking?
So recently my drivers unlockable warn hub has been clicking. It clicks roughly 4 times per tire rotation and it clicks both engauged and dis engauged. The hub still locks and unlocks, I'm at a loss of understanding of what it could be . Any ideas?
I tried some online research but it's difficult to match google results with my symptoms..

So I opened it up today. And to my surprise I believe it's the wheel bearing lol.
I removed the entire locking hub unit, covered the axle tip and drove around the block. The noise was extremely loud. Also the clicking only happens under weight, it won't click when the axle is off the ground

From: **** hole San Jose ca.
Should have been some roughness while turning the wheel back & fourth. I've seen where the inner wheel bearing has failed and had messed up the spindle enough that it needed replacing. Time to pull it all down and repack or replace as needed.
New seals are a must. tho.
Also check for leaking wheel cylinders roll bac the dust cap if any wetness it's leaking.

Will do, and no the wheel spun just fine. It wasn't the usual grinding noise I'm used to with failed bearings. It's literally a high pitched click..
But either way I gotta get the splined socket for removing the wheel bearing ring. So I won't be overhauling anything tonight :/
