I have 1998 Suzuki sidekick with 55K mile, 4x4, with front manual hubs. When I put it into a 4-wheel drive, the front transmission/drive axle makes clicking noise like CV joints. I thought it was a hub problem. I locked the hubs individually without engaging 4-wheel drive, they do not make the noise when I drive around. The noise occurs only when the 4-wheel drive is engaged (with/without hub engaged). I check the rubber boots around the front axle but I didn’t notice any cuts/breaks. Could this noise be due to inner/outer CD joints problem?
