What the hell is this noise, CV, trans, front diff?

[spitvenom]

everything I got over bumpy roads I hear almost like a clicking sound like a rattle metal on metal, and also there a bit when im shifting through the gears MANUAL, I think its from from the front end, the only thing I noticed moving if I move everything with my hands is the left cv axel where it meets the front diff its a bit lose is that normal? like it has a bit of play instead of being super tight like on other cars ive done cv axels.

those are good, the bushings are a bit worn but still have good meat on them. any other ideas?

yes it all turned out to be a lose front diff carrier bolt and the driveshaft that needs to be lubed and once I raised it, the driveshaft stretches out about an extra 1 inch so it makes the problem feel worse.
