Default front end noise 4x4 95 5.0

when i was driving today i noticed a slight clicking noise coming from the front driverside tire. is seemed to get louder and more agressive when i applied the brakes. and when i pulled out onto the road i nailed it (after starting it by jumping the silinoid)and it made a loud whining noise and finaly a loud clunck before it resumed to the slight click again.

any thoughts?

1...driver side motor mount sounds like it's GONE!

2...front differential is in need of new clutch plates...might i suggest a rebuild kit with carbon fiber clutch plates.

HUB?--more recent play in steering? If not, driver side u joint inside your TTB beam.

with the whining you described, I still would say differential. Wheather the 4x4 is engaged or not, the clutch packs need to work together so the wheels spin individually(someone with a 4x4 chime in please).

check your 4X4 links while you're at it!

i would say your automatic 4x4 lockers are broke.
Did you back up after having it 4x4?
What happens they don't release and brake.
That's what happened to mine.
