Default ROLLER COASTER

Hey guys,
I think I know the answer to this but wanted to get some more experienced opinions.

For the past several months, When making a right hand turn (only going slow and sharp on the turn) I hear a clicking noise that sounds like being pulled up the hill of a roller coaster.

I'm noticing it a tiny bit on the left as well.

Only turns. Only slow. And only sharp turns.

What's the verdict?
DIY-able?
cost estimate?


Thanks everyone!

Most likely CV axles. Cost? If you do it yourself probably under $200 but only if you have the tools, especially trying to remove the axle nut, you might need an strong impact gun and large socket.

It's likely the axle, you will need to do some turns with someone outside the vehicle and have them confirm which side is making the noise. It's likely going to be the left side if it's clicking and the right side if it just makes a loud clunk as you start the turn. It's possible to do it yourself but most shops will do them for like $150 or even $100.
