Clicking Sound

[jswatson0917]

I had the doors off the Jeep the other day (First Time this Year) and I noticed a clicking sound as I accelerated the clicking went faster soon as i touch the brakes the clicking stopped. I thought it was a u-joint but they all look good could it be a wheel bearing?

By the fact that you said it goes away when you hit the brakes I would say it's coming from the brakes. Possibly the brake pads need a shim causing them to move around in the caliper making noise until you hit the brakes which keeps them from moving around abnormally.

Brakes are a pretty good bet, I would look at wheel bearings and lug nuts as well. jack it up and give things a spin and a shake.

I had the same problem. The pads were slapping around in the caliper.

The front calipers take special clips that hold the pads in place. They were missing on my jeep when I bought it, and it clicked and rattled. I got the kit from 4 wheel drive hardware.

I had orginally thought the same thing be I just had the brakes re done at a local repair shop I wrote it off. I will double check the brakes and see what happens.

I took the top off the jeep yesterday and took it over to the hobby shop on base gave the front wheels a good shake and nothing moved to the forward drive shaft and found nothing wrong moved to the main drive shaft and I found a worn out universal joint. Problem solved
