Default Front End Noise?

Okay so about two weeks ago i installed a set of superior axle tube seals now i have a slight problem. I hear this clicking noise coming from the drivers side only in 4wd and only on hard turns while going slow. Its sounds like metal on metal clicking and screeching. It's driving me nuts. I thought it was the U-joint in the front axle but it seemed to be okay when i pulled the shaft out to check it. Anybody got any ideas? I would really appreciate it. Thanks

are you lifted and if so, have you checked your front driveshaft to see if the boot is torn?

ill bring this one back from the dead as i have the same thing going on. if its something in the front axle i have it narrowed down to either something going on with the gears/ locker or the hub bearing. i know its not the shafts b/c i just put RCVs in.

the only other possibility is the driveshaft may be bad.
