MOST COMMON CAUSE OF NOISE FROM FRONT AXEL ESPECIALLY IN OLDER CARS IS THE CV JOINTS IF IT GETS WORSE WHEN YOU MAKE TURNS ITS THE CV JOINT............
the noise could be coming from either a bad wheel bearing or something wrong in front axle.
Worn out front sway bar links or bushings can do that.
A bad cv joint/axle shaft on the front will make a clicking noise when turning.
have it checked you could have bent the axle and the noise would be the bearing
You did not say what kind of vehicle it is. If it is a front wheel drive, it has drive axles and if the drive axle is going out, it will click especially when you turn the wheels.
If its front wheel drive possibly an axle.
Before I can answer that question, can you describe where the ticking noise is coming from? Front of the vehicle? Rear? Engine? Is it coming from your Wheels? If its coming from the front of the vehicle you might require an oil change. If its coming from the rear of the vehicle it could be your axle. If its coming from your wheels it could be either wheel bearings or a backing plate for your brakes. Does it happen at regular intervals? Are they random and sporadic?
Worn front axle and/or front end component.
it would most likely be the bearings but in some cases sometimes the axle make a humming noise when traveling at high speeds.(front wheel drive)
could be ring and pinion or a bad u-joint or a wheel bearing
Front grinding could be a bad wheel bearing or in the front axle assembly.
I had a 2000 Explorer with a grinding noise coming from the front . It my case, it was the axle bearing assembly on both sides. They are around 200 per side to purchase.
