My truck makes a knocking or clunking noise in 2wd but not 4wd. The noise is coming from the front axle I think and increases with speed.

you more than likely need new U-joints, im assuming its four-wheel-drive.

Look for dust like rust color at either U-joint, my guess is it's time to change at least one, but if I did one, I'd do other too.

the ansew i found is replacing the seal around the joint and from both end removing it and cleaning it out i had rocks in mine from going threw water and mud ita a all day deal but a twenty doller fix axle shaft oil seal is all i had to replace
SOURCE: clunking front hubs
usually the noise in the front end is the u-joints or cv joints out towards the tires.

Do you have automatic locking hubs? Do you need to turn hubs on wheels in order to have 4 wheel drive work? If all you do to get in 4wd is move shifter, then you have automatic locking hubs. The clicking indicates that the hubs are not fully disingaging. To check, block rear wheels, jack front up, and turn tire. the axle should not be turning...if it is, hub is still ingaged....time for new hubs.....if hubs are bad, and you want to save money, you can purchase a set of manual hubs made by (WARN)...its more than half the cost, but you will have to turn hubs to lock and unlock manually. Note...you still need to use the gear selector to put and take out 4wd.
