When I put my rig in 4WD, it makes a tick tick tick tick tick sound. It does not make it when it is in 2WD. It is only on the drivers side. How can I tell if it is just a boot or the whole axle which needs replaced? 89 Trooper Visit Southern 4x4 Re: Ticking sound in 4WD [Re: Tweeder] #846596 11/12/07 12:05 AM Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 4,868 Mount Vernon, WA, USA Jim_Paget Roll Me Over A torn boot doesn't mean noise. It is just a rubber piece that seals out dirt, etc. However, if the boot is torn, it may let contaminants into the joint and then you will get wear or damage which may be indicated by noise. So the bad news is that if there is ticking it isn't caused by a torn boot, but the torn boot may have led to other damage.

Do you have auto or manual hubs? Buy a Trooper. You'll be glad you did.
