I have a 2004 f150 5.4l 4x4 and mine is doing that too but only when i put the front wheels in a bind such *** mud but i tried to do it to show a mechanic by climbing a small concrete ledge and it jumped right up the little wall without making a sound did you ever figure yours out?

no thats not why.. do you have the straight axle or the independent front with the cv shafts if so your cv shafts are most likely bad the shaft is what goes from your front diff. to your hubs makes them turn if not htose then it is your front drive shaft not the big one that goes to the rear wheels the little one..
and the guy with the 04 check your boots on your cvs and might be a bad one that chipped a tooth on the splined shaft that slides into your shaft id get it looked at if i were you shouldnt be making noise unless your tires rub a little ...like i said might be these things if i could crawl under and look id be able to tell you more been through a few cv shafts...

you have a 1990, u have a twin i-beam suspension, the axle doesnt have cv joints, it has u-joints, just like a driveshaft. either your u joint are bad, or it could possibly have a different gear in the front. hightly dout the second on, but im willing to bet yor u-joint in the axles are bad, my truck did the same thing
