Consistent Clicking!!!!!

[350VortecSSCT]

I have a consistant clicking sound while I am slowing down/braking coming from the front on the drivers side...and when I am at Idle, at 5-10mph it clicks and then the clicks increase as speed increases...CANT STAND THE NOISE HELP!

Option 1 -- you have a nail or rock in your tire

Option 2 -- you need new bearings, they usually click before they begin to squeak

That or worn shocks or end links!

squeaking coming from the shocks, what are end links? and which bearings? never worked with bearings...and It's also U-Joints, I can move the driveshaft.

Front wheel bearings are really easy (half hour each?), and about $150/side in parts. You can rule out bearings by jacking up one wheel, and trying to move the wheel side to side, top to bottom. If it moves side to side, that side has a wheel bearing issue. Again, no worries, it is super easy. If it moves 12-6 o'clock, that's ball joints. Those suck.

U-joints are also pretty easy; I think I'm going to have to do mine soon. You can test them by pushing sideways on them. If they clunk, and rattle side to side, then they probably need to be replaced. If yours is 4wd, check everything between the front differential, and the wheel bearing, pretty much. There are 2 u-joints in there that can click, then clunk, then break and ***** slap your front end.
