Ok so after this weekend, when putting my Jeep in 4wd I noticed that I really can't turn the wheel that far at all because it makes a loud rubbing noise. Normally when in 4wd I can turn the wheel and if I go to far it almost hops, but now I cant turn it that far at all and it does the same thing. To add to this in the beginning of the summer I had a clicking noise, similar to a bad u joint noise but it wasn't the u joints. The noise is still there so what I am thinking is maybe it could be the ujoint off the front axel. Well whatever it is call. My dad is looking at it today while I'm at work but what do you guys think?

my dad had the problem with his dodge ram, but no the clicking is when I just drive it. It is all the time. Now when I have it in 4wd and turn it makes rubbing noise and the clinking isn't going away. I have no idea what is going on with it!

I know you have been putting it off but I agree it is your axle joint

Yeah drive shaft u joints not axel u joints. If they were going, would they make a clicking noise?

so my dad looked at it and it was the axel u joint passenger side. There was now bearings left in the ujoint. I am surprised I made it back from mass. this weekend. I am going to replace both front u joints while I'm doing it.
