Default Front end!!!!

My front end is making a clucking grinding noise.My truck has 40 thousand miles i have only used four wheel drive a few times.It makes the noise when i turn and drive very loud sounding.And a little driving straight.But not all the time.Neither when i turn?Could it be the front u joints or even a wheel bearing also how would i check.I tried pulling on the front u joints but they seemed tight expect one was much warmer then the other????Should i use a small bar?And what about the front wheel bearings.I am really not that hard on her besides laying some rubber.I do have the warranty but i might be drop since i have afe stage 2 cold air and the blade runnner and a smarty jr.And muffler res delete.Your help would be great.:argh

ummmm.... my truck does the samething sometimes. i just had the "expensive" conection rod replaced, and a front end allignment, and no one has said anything to me about any problems. two differnt garages worked on it. i have always figured it was my lift or tires "grabing" a little to hard. it only seems to do it while i am parking, forward and backward. i never really noticed it while normal driving. and no wheeling or anything like that for me. just regular driving and towin with it.
