ok so i know i need knew brake pads and rotors for sure...an asap! i can hear this clicking sound when going about 10-20 mph and not accelarating. in other words, when i let go of the gas peddle and going about 10-20 mph i can hear the noise. i dont know if it clicks going at a faster mph because i cant manage to hear. my question is, can the brakes and rotor be causing this clicking sound? thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure its your front axle u-joints. That`s exactly what my truck did when they broke on the dunes the whole way home that`s what I heard when i slowed down.

would it be the same u joint that the driveshaft has??? i just changed the ones in the rear and i would like to know if they are the same. also i know that it's a diff. process, is it really difficult?

Not the same joint. The most difficult part will be separating the hub from the knuckle. they will probably be frozen into the knuckles

look in the "tech" section of this site under drive train there is a post by "The Boss" called dana 44 hub and u-joint replacement-- read it- learn it- love it! the only thing I did different is I took the axles to the napa machine shop in town to have them press the u-joints out and in, I now have a bigger bench vise that I can secure the press in

Here's what it'll sound like if the u-joint is missing the needle bearings.
