I'm talking about a 93 acura legend, but i put my post here because this forum gets a lot of traffic and it's a general problem. There is a clicking sound coming from the front left wheel when i am driving, it happens when im going straight and turning, and it gets faster the faster i go. Does this mean that the axle is shot? Is it the cv joint? I forgot what clicking means. What's wrong and what's the fix? Thanks for the help.

 

CV joint is shot. Time for a new axle.

Advance is also offering a lifetime warranty in most places, but Autozone has always been cheaper when I've needed axles.

 

Yeah, get the entire axle from AutoZone. Lifetime replacement. You might get a couple bad ones, but you'll find one just right to last for a while.

 

go to autozone... get the warranty... axles for life.

yup i got mine from advance

 

I can't replace it myself though for a few reasons, ive never done anything like that before, im going back to school tomorrow, no shop manual, and it's my parents car and they prolly wouldn't let me work on it. They'll just get taken for a ride by the shitty mechanic they have, but ill tell them about the autozone and advance axles. Thanks for the help everyone i appreciate it.

Do it yourself. If you can change your oil, you can remove your axle.
