My truck just started making a clicking sound on the front driver side tire. It is doing it when I turn and when the wheels are straight. Wondering if it’s the cv or wheel bearing? Any ideas

 

It would be helpful to know what you have
Ranger 4.0l
Year
2WD or 4WD, assuming 4WD because of CV joint comment

First guess is a rock, or other debris stuck in that tire

Next guess, If its a 2001 or up Ranger 4WD, is the propeller joint on transfer case end of front drive shaft, common source of "ticking noise" when moving, and its on drivers side, and always spinning when moving in 2WD or 4WD
1998-2000 4WD can also have this noise if front hubs are locked

 

2005 4.0 bro edge. It’s not the drive shaft. There’s nothing in the tire. It sound like a cv axel but it not just when turning. It’s while the wheel is straight

 

Wouldn't matter if wheel was straight or turned, CV joint is still at an angle

Jack up the one wheel under A-frame and spin it, its an OPEN differential so wheel should spin
See if you can hear the clicking

Then try jacking it up by the frame on that side so suspension is hanging down, and CV joint is at more of an angle and spin wheel again

 

Thanks a lot. Appreciate it

 

You think he has a Dana 35 ?
