ok I got a 93 Teg and when I turn left I hear a clicking noise but I cant tell if it is coming from the left side or the right.... When you hear the clicking does it automaicly assume that its the axles or the CV joint? Also when I drive the car and accelerate the steering wheel shakes.

sounds like an axle problem to me. Had the same problem when my axle was busted/torn boot.

my friend had this problem before his car would shake while hes accelerating but he replaced his axel and it made everything all better again but when he turned it never made a clicking noise so it could possible be both im not sure but you can take it to a shop and they'll even check it out for free

If I replace the Axles dont they come with the CV joints?

um yea if u look at the axles u can see if the boots are all ripped up and that will be the one thats causin all the problems. You can do this by jus lookin under ur car dont have to pull anything apart. Also once u find the one you need to replace take it down wit u to get your new one cuz they will give u a core charge for the old one

cv joints are part of the axle, my steering wheels still shakes 3 pairs of axels later new motor mount and soon to be new half shaft

or could be your wheel bearing... but check your axles first...

Wheel bearings won't click....they will however cause the steering wheel to wobble. I have heard wheelbearings make rubbing noise but not clicking thats usually CV's.

what if the Cv arent ripped? Can they still be bad?

I assume your talking about the CV boots the CV Joint won't rip...

Usually if the boots are cracked it is a short time before the CV joints go because the grease in the joint dries out and gets packed with dirt and road debris...

The joints can still go without the boots being shot...if you recently purchase the car the previous owner could have replaced the boots and not the joints before he sold it because it is MUCH cheaper to do the boots than the joints....

Take your car into a big empty parking lot, turn your wheels all the way right and then start to drive, as you speed up the clicking should get faster, try turning the other way and doing the same thing, if the joints click loudly and get increasingly louder as you speed up your CV's are gone for sure....hope this helps

first thing i thought when i saw the title was... turn signal?? ha ha

also consider your suspension, maybe its hitting something

Clicking when turning = bad outer CV joint
Vibration when accelerating = bad inner CV joint

I'm guessing both your axles are probably pretty old. If one of them is still good it probably won't last much longer. I would bite the bullet and just swap out both axles, problems should go away (provided you don't get crappy rebuild axles like CCT brand from AutoZone or NAPA).

it is your axels because when you turn you hear it clicking. Whe wobble might be your wheel neads to be balanced. im not sure but check everything

money on axles if it was bearings it would make a howling sound at like 35+ mph.
Mine did it about a year ago after i got my teg cuz the previous owner put a punka$$ phantom grip in my baby and i didnt figure it out until i replaced both axles and intermediate shaft.

DynastyRacer22

try raising ur car up and see if it still shake after u accelerate..

I'm from stratford, if you need some freebie help changing it.

Yo SiR Adam thanks for the info I could of used you

CV joints are bad if there clicking, replace axle. My theory, when something breaks replace it with better.

shorto85

Your right outer cv joint is bad so you need to replace the right axle. When you turn left your right side wheel has to turn at a faster speed than the inside left wheel which is why you hear the clicking when you turn your car to the left.
