My Bronco makes a clicking noise when turning sharp and driving at slow speed.It sounds like it's coming from the front left hub. Anybody else ever have this.I havn't had time to get into it.

Is the locking hubs DIS engaged. Bearings greased, lugs tight, rock in brake cal just throwing a few out there,..

Disassemble the lockout hub. it's messed up. Could be a u joint too.

mine did this when I first got it, the PO had put the hub together with the spring on the outside, DUH it cant work right when the spring is on the F-in outside....... anyways not saying that's what happened to yours but it sounds the same.

I'm guessing the wheel joint.

The U joints are new. I'll go pull the hubs and see whats up there.
