Default Clicking/Squeaking Nose Going Up a Hill? w/ Vid

When I was backing up a hill in my 08 FX4 I started getting a loud clicking/squeaking nose, then once I got to a flat area the clicking noise went away. After I experienced the sound I went for a drive and experience the clicking noise going up a hill from a stop.

I had my truck up on a lift and I couldn't see or feel anything loose basically when going over the driveshaft when I replaced my pads and rotors.

Has anyone else experienced this type of noise?


Edit: Here is a video of the sound

I got some of the clicking alittle bit when I had it in 4WD. It sounds like it is coming towards the rear of the truck


Also, probably the word "clicking" is not the greatest term, I will see if it can get a video of the sound today

Was just thinking IWE's but, if you are positive it's coming from the rear...

I thought the same as Mark about the IWE system. If its coming from the rear I'd look at U-joints.
