Default help, something messed up on my car

my car makes this really bad noise now , i had 5 people in my car and drove to the river , when i dropped them off my car started to make a really bad noise on the Front right side and it sounds like **** ,
what do u think can be the problem ? axle? just blew my shock ? what
errrrrrrr it sounds like it ticks but i looked at the axle and the cv joint boots are still good .no tear on them.

it clicks? then the obvious thing to check would be the cv joint, even thought the boot is still ok, the joint can be damgaed from the inside.

It will not repairable unless you have another axle to rob parts from which I assume that you don't. Just take out the old one slap a new one in and take the old one back for a core. It will be a great DIY experience. Do a search on here if you are unsure on how to do this, Tom made a great step by step post on how to do it yourself.

So hurry up and replace that right front axle!!! Driving your car around like that is really dangerous.
