1989 f150 ttb
hey guys had a question i have a 89 f150 and for the past year ive been having clucking and popping from my front axle sometimes right before i stop some when i turn or take off i did notice that my D-side axle moves up/down and side to side a lot more then the other side can some one tell me what this is please, (when im in 4wd for a long time it will start grinding or if i leave the hubs locked in for awhile afterwords)

When you say that the axle is moving around alot, are you talking about the entire axle housing and wheel. Or just the axle shaft?
If its the entire housing housing then maybe the shocks and bushing are worn and its just loose.
If its just the axle shaft it may be the u-joint is shot and the spindle and center section axle bearings have failed because of it.
Good Luck

Me or the OP?
i was talking about severely worn pivot, radius arm and shock bushings causing alot of play in the whole axle housing assembly allowing it to move from front to back, as well as making the clunking sounds.
We defiantly need a little more info on what exactly is happening.

It really depends on how much damage and where you get the parts. You could find a locking hub that matches yours at a junkyard for rather cheap. Or you could replace both with new manuals hubs for around $100, plus $30 for the 1 u-joint, $30 for the new axle bearings and seals. And youll need some special tools, including the socket for the 4 prong spindle nut, and a blind hole puller/slide hammer.
