Have a 2003 dodge ram 2500. get alot of noise from the front end. went away after the u-joint was replaced, but now it's back and it's not a u-joint this time? my 4x4 sticks when turning, and i get a loud clicking sound when moving.
just did a u joint on the passenger side a few months ago. when i did, had alot of wheel wobble and the u-joint was obviously broken. now, i have no wobble and both appear to be fine.

yes, it does sound like a u-joint again, but both look great, not even a crack. would there be anything in the hub that could be loose? if so would it make that similar noise?

nope no bind, and the clicking is only when rotating, at a high enough speed. i can just barely get 1-2 clicks out when spinning it by hand. gets really loud while driving

It sound like a wheel joint. They are u-joints right behind the brake rotors. If you had one replaced, the other one might have went bad. Or the new one might be junk.

Check the brake caliper. Take a screwdriver and compress the caliper a little bit, you can do this with the tire still on. Drive and see if the clunk went away, and comes back after you drive it, try it again, and if the same thing happens, replace the caliper. Also check your shock mounts, ball joints and tie rod ends. Replace any that are worn, (you shouldn't have any looseness in either rod ends and ball joints, they should move, but not have any play in them) make sure that all rubber mounts are not worn or loose.
Check the rear driveshaft u-joints. Most likely the rear u-joint at the differential is seized/seizing. May here a rotational squeaking at low speeds. If you want to check it yourself. Remove the rear driveshaft and move the u-joint in each direction and check for tightness. Do so with both ends. Let me know how it works out for ya!
wheel alignment,make sure you have it done at alignment shop, not a regular mechanic shop,also some newer vehicles have shims like adaptors,make sure they're on properly.otherways the nut is tight but the ball joint is still loose.
The clips you are looking for are on the inside. They are circular and you need to just tap them out with a flat tip or a very small punch then you can press the caps out.
Noise is coming from a dry u-joint and or the carrier bearing if equiped. Usually a u-joint "cherps" in reverse first then only gets worse with time. If it starts vibrating at highway speeds replace them immediately.
the ansew i found is replacing the seal around the joint and from both end removing it and cleaning it out i had rocks in mine from going threw water and mud ita a all day deal but a twenty doller fix axle shaft oil seal is all i had to replace
I have a 2002 Dodge 1500 Ram 4x4, quad cab and had the same problem. In
2wd the clicking was constant, in 4wd it would go away. Also I had no
4wd while in 4wd, found that out after a snow storm. I took my truck to
a buddies garage (a Dodge mechanic), he said this is a common problem.
He pulled the drivers side wheel, hub, axle and stub axle. The stub
axle splines where it goes into the CV joint and and the internal
splines in the CV joint were gone. Almost smooth even. The wheel
bearing was completely wore out too. I ended up replacing the hub
assembly, both the inner and outer axles. Not a cheap fix either I
have about $600 repair bill, but it's back on the road now smooth and
quite.

get the noise no matter what, i do notice a harsh tugging when i turn in 4 wheel. noise does get a little louder with 4 wheel.
joints are visible, open, really pull the axels?
what do you mean by tight?
