Front End Noise
I have a 03 sd 350 4x4 w/ a 6.0.
Every time I turn the wheels all the way to the left or the right I hear a clicking sound. I just did ball joints at the end of last summer. The noise seemed to have started just a few days ago after I had used the 4 wheel drive due to a storm we had. I have auto locking hubs not manuel. Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be great so I can fix it.
Thanks
Attila

Any other suggestions?

Turn the wheel all the way one direction and shut the truck off. then reach behind the tire and turn the u joint by hand. If it spins you know it is unlocked. Check both sides I bet one is still locked.

It could be that the u-joints themselves are screwed... Thats kind of what mine did .. I just changed them last week and the clicking is gone !!!!
Replace the u-joints.. thats my call !!! U can check them by wiggling them or prying them with a bar to see if there is any movement !!
