clicking sound

I am hearing a clicking sound coming from my right and left front wheels on my 97 R. Especially loud when I make turns either way. Just wondering if that could be a bad wheel bearing. I just replaced both axles a month ago. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

So you replaced both CV Axels a month ago. That couldn't be it then. What kind of Transmission fluid are you using? I've heard of certain fluids causing the Differential to click, especially while turning. GM Syncro Mesh is very bad for this I've heard...

Anyone else have some ideas?

What kind of axles did you use?

I've used remanned axles from Checker Auto Parts and Napa on other Hondas in the past and had them fail quickly. I wouldn't be so quick to count out the axles as a possible cause of the noise.

Re: clicking sound (Reid)

I too had this clicking sound with my Falken azenis on Racing Hart CP-035's It appeared to only be on my driver side tire and I couldn't figure it out for anything!
I eventually put new Toyo T1R's (Don't buy those) on my R, and after a full wheel alignment and with the new tires, voila no more clicking. I'm not sure what the cause was, or the fix, but my problem sounds very similar to yours, maybe go in for an alignment? (shrug)

Re: clicking sound (Reid)
