Default click in front end

i recently started to hear a clicking in the front end, definatly not the motor, im assuming something with the diff or axle, it only does it when im slowing down between 0-25ish, and its gets slower as you slow down, but it goes away after 25mph. any ideas?

u-joint?

Or does it sound more like your pcv valve? Mine was very noticeable while driving, bugged the hell outta me for about 2 months before I realized what it was...

My vote gets U joints. When mine went they clicked like an sob.

When I sped up it got louder and faster.

another nod to a u-joint. you can confirm by jacking the tire off the ground and rotate the wheel (forward & backwards) and watch for slop in the ujoints by the hub
