Check front wheel bearings. Mine made a noise but wheels appeared to be ok. when we checked further we had to change both front wheel bearings. No noise now,
sounds like a wheel bearing assembly to me. i would have the clearance checked at a jeep dealer. if you can rock the wheel gently while moving forward and the sound fades and comes back, definitely a wheel bearing assembly.
if its the noise that happens when you shift it from 2wd to 4wd that is most likely normal, unless it is continuing on after the shift to 4wd,The other that it could be is a universal joint that is sloppy/loose on the front slip yolk or the front wheels.to check it you nee to jack up the front end just till the front wheels are off the ground,and support with jack stands and chalk the back wheels,then try to move the front wheels from side to side to check if its a tie rod making the noise,then move the wheels up and down to see if the wheel bearings are bad or going bad.then spin the wheels seperatly 1 at a time and look and see if the u-joint is loose.you can also check the front drive shaft/slip yolk by doing this.
cv joints don't always click, mainly they click when turning, But worn ones will also make noise,, since you have to remove the wheel anyway ,, I'd check the bearing first, then move onto the cv joints
i would 1st check out the front tires to make sure that they are not defective, if tires check out ok, then i would put the jeep on a rack at a garage, and check out all of the front end components, including c. v. joints and the wheel bearings.
sounds like a bad cv joint in one (or both) of the front axles. is the popping sound more prevalent when in reverse, with the wheel turned? if so, i'd assume that it is a bad cv joint and one or both front axles will need to be replaced.
