I have this clicking noise from the right front tire when I turn to the left at low speeds. It getting worse by the day. I'm thinking u joints are bad. Its a '12 with 16000 miles. Any thoughts before it take in?

My first thought would be u-joint, second would be wheel bearing... Also I am assuming that it is not your tire rubbing at full lock?

No rubbing issues. After looking closer when I got home I think it's my homemade quick disco.

I had the same issue with my '12 Rubicon unlimited. Low speeds it sounded horrible, people would just stare like something was broken. Took it to my local jeep dealer and found it was a broken u-joint. It wasn't a major issue, once the part was in it only took a couple hours to fix.

Reach under your Jeep, grab the front driveshaft and twist left and right. There should be no play in the u-joints.

I heard it again this morning. I'm going to get under it again tonight. Still only happens when turning hard left into a parking spot.

I had the same problem awhile ago checked everything it was all good turned out to be the top bushing on my shock was destroyed so the treads would catch when turning new top bushing fixed it

What were the treads catching? I have trimmed fenders and almost 4 inches of lift.

Check your balancing weights mine is loose on my driver side and every time my tire makes contact to the ground it make a clicking noise! It drives me crazy so I just put my music loud now!

The treads on the top of the shock were catching on the hole in the shock mount it would move a little catch then pop when I was turning
