    This clicking sound just started happening. Is this consistent with the CV axle clicking?
    Any input is appreciated
    Thank you!

    It’s hard to tell.
    It’s not as consistent as a CV tick. Does it do it more or less when turning?

    jack that side of your vehicle up, spin the wheel and see if you here a click, if its your wheel bearing you should be able to hear it, maybe if its your cv, but it could only be clicking if power is running through it. is the problem in 4wd or 2wd? if none of that pans out I'd try and flex your suspension down a little bit, you can do this a little by just jumping on the inside of your cab half hanging out your door or if you have sliders on there. if none of that clicks that should limit out wheel bearing, cv, coilover, and uca. If none of that diagnoses, check your ball joints on lca. i'm no mechanic but it seems too irregular to be a CV or bearing so i'd think maybe something with your coil moving inside of the shock assembly. if you can find a perfectly flat parking lot roll across that slowly and see if it makes the click, if you then hit a bump and it does click, that will give more information to help diagnose.

    I would inspect the wheel bearings, front axle shaft, lower and upper ball joints.
