Front Axle Noise

Front Axle Noise
I have a 99 dodge 1500 4x4. Lately, I've heard kind of a clicking, metal grinding sound from my front axle. I replaced the cardinal joints on both sides and the hub assembly on both sides. Has anyone come across this as well? If so, how hard is it to dig in the front axle. I'm guessing it's a bearing in the differential case. Any ideas? thanks!

RE: Front Axle Noise
Like the BurningRom said, it is probably the wheel bearing and from what you describe it is the left side with the issue. However, if metal is floating around the differential you probably want to replace both bearings and do as good of a cleanup of everything else that you can.
