Default clicking noise

I have a 2001 Ram 1500 and while driving I get a clicking noise but as soon as I turn the wheel left or right the noise stops. I haven't looked too much into this but could this possibly be the u joints going bad? Any suggestions.

Wheel bearings - especially if it happens more turning one direction than the other. That's what mine did before I replaced them. U joint clicks will change with load/no load = gas/no gas.

The noise stops when I turn either way. I think I'll take a look at the u joint tonight.
