Default Broken axles or CV joints???

Hi there,

I hav '02 accord automatic, and when I turn, or get thru bumper that make clickin noise. My friend told me that is the axle, but I did researches online that said w/ broken axles the car wouldnt move, so that would be broken CV joints.
Any suggestions!!!

Before the axle breaks it makes clicking sounds when you turn. If it makes the sound when you turn right it's usually the left axle and visa versa. Normally the boots of the axles go bad, letting all the grease to leak out which makes the axles break down over time.

Yeah, so with the broken CV or axle, does it make any different while driving, decreasing acceleration or velocity???

With less grease youre getting more friction, so it can affect your acceleration. But usually, its the CV joints that go bad, not the axle breaking.
