Default something is clicking...

When I turn the car while coasting (no throttle) I hear a "CV joint" kind of clicking, I checked the boots and they look almost brank new, is there anything else that could be casuing this noise???

Just because the boot looks fine doesnt mean that the guts arent bad... When you hear the noise is it when you are taking a sharp corner or just slightly turning? How fast are you going when this happens, or is it all the time that it does this?

And remember boys and girls...

ahhh the wonderfull world of front wheel drive

you have a blown axle. even if the boot is "ok" you have a damaged joint.

it doesnt matter how much i turn the wheel, just as long as i dont press the throttle, it clicks from 0-15mph or so

and check to see if there's a small slit in the boot. sometimes that happens and all of the axle grease seeps out and your joint goes bad.

don't forget the metal dust shield behind the rotor...

i had a clicking as well, turned out for me it was 2 things: the driver's side dust shield was bent and also the passenger axle was bad, change the axle and unbent the dust shield and now all my clicking noises while driving are gone
