tried searching. Have a 97 accord. Every time I make a left or right turn I can hear a clicking noise coming from my axles. Do I need to replace?

ya need to replace axles, its the CV boots that are probably most likely torn, replace the axles and ur good to go

No you don't have to replace the axles. You will mostly likely have to replace the CV boots and possible the joints.

Jack the car up and check behind the tire, you will see a rubber boot where the hub connects to the axle. If you see grease all around there, then the CV boot is torn.

Yeah, what he said

I have the same issue with clicking when turning, and I know its my CV. However, I have checked that thing extreamly thoroughly and none of the boots are torn and there is no grease leaking out.

BBallz24

Maybe it already all leaked out?

CanadianEh48

haha fair enough. i checked it as soon as the noise started and there was no evidence of a leak at that point.

ok technically u dont have to change out the axles, but IMHO it is just easier to do instead of having to buy a kit and do it all yourself (unless of course u get someone to do it for you) thats just my 2cents, u do what you want. Sense in my opinion changing out an axle is a simple fast job. Im not sure how much your into cars though so your call

mine use to click everytime i turn when i was 2" or lowered. then when i switched over to Tein S Tech, it never did it again. I guess there's too much pressure on the CV joints when lowered, so it'll click when you turn even though the boots arent torn.
