Default AXLE REPLACED

Today i replaced my left axle on my 95 accord manual trans.. the boots were already breaking n leaking grease so i decided to change it, its still under warranty, so i finished installing it, i took the car for a test drive to see if i didn't mest up, i notice a clicking noise coming from the new axle while turning right, i did pop into place n it did lock itself good, i check to see if i could take it off with my hands but it didn't. I check the right side axle for any leaks but everything seems good no noise while turning left and the noise seems from the left.
so what can it be that is causing that noise?? can it be the new axle came defective from manufacture, the part is new and not a re-manufacture?? what should i check for? tomorrow ama take it apart n double check if not then ill return the axle back(that sucks, even though its easy).
thanks

Did you buy a re-manufactured axle from like Advanced Auto? What did you replace it with? OEM Honda is not reman'd but most ones from Advanced and similar are.

It's most likely a sub par chinese axle. It's more common than anyone at autozone or carquest will admit, but ALOT of reman and new axles will come with clicking or vibration issues...

I'd drive it if it was just a click, find out about warrenty on it....

I recommend you return it for a replacement, if it doesn't seem right, it's not going to get better with time.

Go to raxle.com, you get a lifetime warranty (under certain conditions).

They are a bit more expensive 130 bucks to be precise not sure.
