Default Clicking and banging

I have an 01 burb when driving at low speeds the front driveshaft is making a clicking and banging sound. If the vehicle is stopped and I grab the driveshaft and turn side to side it makes the sound. My question is there a bearing in there making the sound? Is the seal bad making it loose? Etc thanks in advance guys

If I read your post correctly, it sounds like you have bad u-joints...

to clarify: you mean the front driveshaft not the cv shafts correct? the front driveshaft shouldn't turn at all in 2wd....so the noise should be gone in 2wd.
