Ok, besides the oil leak I noticed a clicking noise getting worse on my Jeep. The noise seems to becoming from the rear some where. It sounds louder on the passenger side rather then the drivers side, actually I can barely hear it on my side. It almost sounds like there is a rock stuck in the tire click click click... etc. I checked all the u joints, hoping it was that simple but nothing seems to be loose. I also check the drive shaft seals. Please someone tell me its not something in my rearend and its something like an axel bearing.

check out your brakes, broken springs or what not I'm with him! Simple, pull the tire off, use a hammer, hit the drum a couple times, then pull off the dum, if something looks broken, good chance it is, go to NAPA get a "hard ware kit" find the spring that should go there, and replace it! P.S. drum brakes suck to work on!

If thats a no go, try spinning the shaft with the jeep in neutral with the drum off. Does it still make the clicking noise?

I jacked the jeep up and with the tires on, I spun the wheels and there wasn't any noise. They I ran the car through 3 gears with the wheels jacked up and the noise was back. It seems that it clicks when I am going above 10 mph. I will check the brakes though. Thanks guys.

get the jeep up on stands block the hell out of the tires put it in gear drop a brick (not a brick but something to get the wheels spinning past your 10 mph) get out and find out what the prob is.
ha just dawned on me what it could be do you have stock wheels if so the plastic cap is screwed onto the rim with a few screws mine came loose and took me quite a while to figure out what the noise was, tick tick tick just like you describe.

Ok so I thought it was a sping or something in the brake drum, I went and got a spring kit and replaced all the springs. The noise is still there. I am now guessing it is something in the rear. Not very happy about that but I guess I'll have to see.

You now, I have the same thing, it was click just a little before sat. but now it is a little louder. I looked around yesterday and found that my right front axel joint is loose. Does any one have experance replacing one? I was reading about it seem pretty easy. Do you need any speacal tools? I know a new one is about $180.00.
