Clicking noise?

Ok I just got done replacing the gear box because it was leaking and sloppy steering. I thought it had something to do with the clicking that I heard, but now the new gear box is in and still have the clicking. It will happen when I am turning right or left and when I am going forward or in reverse. I was told to check my anti sway bar bushings and when I looked at them I noticed the left sway bar link is bad and I can move the sway bar just a little bit on that side, but on the right side I can not move it. What do you guys think, sway bar link kits with new bushings or have your guys had this problem and it turn out to be something else? Thanks in advance for your input

ok brakes were just replaced not to long ago, maybe about 8 months ago and the pads still look good, and as far as front axle shaft U joints wouldn't that only come into play when I am in 4 wheel drive?

I just replaced a shot front axle u-joint this past weekend. I was stumped on the noise because it was only there in 2WD. Putting it in 4WD took out the slop in the joint. Pull the front wheels and check them with a prybar.
