Default loud clicking/ knocking every couple of feet

Ok I was bout 50 feet from my driveway when my truck started to make a loud clicking /knocking noise about every 8-10 feet, I live on a dirt road n hit a dip in the road n that's when it started. Climbed under to see if anything got tangled up n to see if drive shaft had any play in it but nothing. Now I just replaced the pass hub at 236000 so not sure if its the driver side now ur wat plz help guys.

It was from the rear end, the bolt that holds the pin for the spider gears had broke n the pin pin was sliding n hitting the pinion gear. Had to weld it back in loaves
