I have done some research and this sounds to me like bad U-joints on the front axle. Can anyone confirm from the video I took yesterday? I jacked up the front and spun the tires but there did not appear to be any play in the u-joint itself and I couldn't replicate the noise. Also, is there a write-up on replacing these -- I couldn't find one. It seems like an easy job however I dont have a press or a vise to press the new ones in. Can it be done with a C-clamp?

Note the popping and clicking....

if you go real fast does it sound like a soda can stuck in the spokes of a bicycle?

Crawl under your jeep and grab the axle shafts with your hand,rock back and forth to see if you get movement,look for rust trails,

I don't hear it during fast cornering or when driving straight at any speed.

I was going to purchase these from a local vendor:
