I have a 2008 Unlimited X. 2" leveling kit. I just started getting a clicking and clacking sound (yes that is a tech term) from my right front, only in 4wd. No noise in 2wd. Not a constant noise, but mainly when i turn, either direction. Thanks for any help.

 

I would start with torquing suspension components, check U joints and Ball Joints.

 

Why would I only be getting that noise in 4wd?

 

Might look at axle u- joint ! !

 

Possibly an internal issue. Torquing and checking some of the external moving (suspension/steering) parts will help eliminate some of the easier possibilities.

 

Sounds like a u joint. In 2wheel it's just along for the ride. No force being applied,
Check there first.

 

+1 on ujoint, I have the same sound coming from my drivers front and I have confirmed that I have movement in that joint... I'll replace it when I do the reinforcement upgrades

 

I get a clang noise too when 4 wheel drive when wheel gets turned sounds like spring getting tapped with a screw driver sound ! (toink ) has sort of a ring to it like the spring unseats itself but it does not that im aware of

 

or drive shafts mine is new front drive shaft . but how do you know if t only happens in 4 wd and looks ok when in 2wd ?????
