Clicking noise from front wheels

Hey all, first time poster. Just got my 2003 4.4 in white with 20" is rims. It's very dope.

I'm getting this clicking noise from the front wheels when i turn full lock left or right. The odd thing is it only happens when I accelerate... Originally they thought it was because of the 20" rims but it does not click when i dont accelerate.

FYI, It doesnt make any noise or clicks any other time.

CV joints? Possibly.
Tyers rubbing? Doubt it because of above.

If anyone has any thoughts would be good to hear them.

Cheers,

Luc.

Welcome and congrats on the new rig.
Yes probably CV joints, but at any acceleration?

If i go uber slow I can't hear it (under 5kmh). But as soon as i go above 10kmh (5miles) it starts clicking.

Faster i go louder the clicking noise.

That doesn't sound like a CV. Sure its not the drains on either side of the tranny?

It should be the front swing bar, have both side checked and replace it if it fails.

Turns out it was the CV joints. Replacing them.

Cheers!
