Clicking occurring when placed in four wheel drive.
No noise in two wheel drive.
Inspected boots no damage.
Can the CV joints be hand relubed
or is replacement of assembly the best option.
Shade tree - no labor cost!

Thanks

Not sure what help I'll be...but usually the clicking from a cv joint is on turns.

HAve run into various heartaches with encoder motors and transfer cases.

MAybe run it while it is in the air and see if you can verify the source a little better.
