hubs on my saf

went out for a play yesterday(sunday),just noticed tonite got clicking sound coming from my front hubs,did not hear it yesterday on the way home may of been there or i just did'nt notice the clicking then
jacked both front wheels off the ground and the passenger hub is clicking louder than drivers side, my hubs are the ones where u can leave them in auto or use your wheel brace to lock the hubs in which i always do,so i put it in 4wd and its still clicking, then took it out but the clicking is still there ,, are my hubs rooted?? , or do they need a service??, i know you cant repair the auto locking hubs on the safari,but not sure with mine as you can manually lock them or leave them in auto position,if they are rooted how easy is it to fit super winch hubs or some other brand of hub??
any help would be good
thanks vince

Mine is doing the same thing

Would love to find out what it is.

had mine do this and a couple of the splines on the inside of the hub had snapped and was causing a clicking sound,.

Mine are doing the same. I ask Rick at 4wd accessories to have a look and they are starting to wear out :shock:

which means a new set goes on at $385 :cry:

Ever since I had my wheel bearings done, my hubs have done this, but mine stop if I reverse a few meters after taking out of 4wd.
Mine would stop clicking if manually locked, rather than relying on auto.

Mine started doing it before I replaced the wheel bearings
