93 Grand Cherokee Noise in left front wheel

[bellamy.richard@yahoo.com]

I have a 93 grand cherokee 4wd. I hit a bump and I started hearing a popping noise on every tire rotation from the left front wheel. I jacked it up and when I rotate the wheel I hear the same noise, but not so on the right side. Anyone have a diagnosis and how much it will cost and the difficulty of replacing the broken part?

Thanks

Either a CV joint: $40.00 on Rock Auto

or

Wheel bearing/hub: $65 on Rock Auto

Regardless of which it is I would do both sides and likely do it all while it is torn apart. Easy nut and bolt job.

Could also be a u-joint, not all ZJ's have CV's.
