When i put in 4 wheel drive i got a clicking popping sound and when in 2 wheel drive it sounds like a rattling sound that gets louder the faster you go
Re: When i put in 4 wheel drive i got a clicking popping...
Sounds like gear and chain need to be replaced in transfer case. The popping and or clicking is the chain trying to climb up over the teeth on the gear in transfer case.

If the sound is present when the wheel is turning under weight, the wheel or bearing hub could be causing the sound. The easiest way to check this is to get it on a hoist (supporting the front lower control arms), start the engine, put in gear while applying the brake, gently let the wheel start turning and look for the sound. If the sound is missing, you probably have a wheel (e.g. broken weld) or tire problem.
well did the noise start after the tires were rotated?could be choppy tires,,,if not ,i strongly think it sounds like a bad wheel bearing,,,,if you drive and while its making the noise turn left and right quick and see if the noise gets louder and which way turning makes it louder,,if you turn leftand it gets louder its usually the right wheels bearing as you are putting load on it, if it makes the noise louder while turning right its the left wheel bearing,,,got it
Rather than guess witch one it is( sounds to me to be a wheel bearing or hub bearing) just chg. out both, but if it gets louder when you make a right turn i would say its the left side sense when you make a right turn you are putting more forse and weight on that side.
It gets louder the faster you go and has gotten worse at lower speeds over the past month. Its a front wheel drive SUV and I had the bearings changed out last month. It is loud as all get out
sounds like the problem is brake related. That ticking you're hearing is your front brake rotors, clicking against the sides of the brake caliper. As you speed up, the clicking will get faster untill you won't be able to hear it, (it's still there, it's just inaudible at such a rapid revolution) upon deceleration, you will notice it more prominently, clicking in rhythm to the speed of your wheel's revolution.
basically, It indicates your brake pads are worn down. Unfortunately the condition will get worse, louder, and the car will become extraordinarily more dangerous to drive as front braking will be compromised if the vehicle's braking conditions persist.
A qualified mechanic will setup the brakes, rotors, check for warpage, hone the rotors if need be, and be able to install a proper replacement pad.
