Default Replaced axles and it's still clicking

I have a gsr swap in my eg. I replaced both my axles thinking it will stop the clicking noise. It only makes noise when I make turns. What else could it be? Does this look fully seated?

Yes that's fully seated. I just threw on a new duralast gold axel from warranty and it's making noise on turns. It's because tolerances are tight I am guessing. It will wear in. Give it a week.

Autozone duralast axles are complete junk and axles don't "wear in". Just take it back and get your money back and get axles from somewhere else.

For the OP, it's not likely both new axles, even if the Autozone quality, will both be clicking. It's likely something else. Could be a bushing or a sway link.

By the time I got done driving 6 miles, the sound is gone. (friends house and back home)

Normally I get Duralast Remanufactured axels, but they were out of stock and I'm going on a trip soon. So I ended up buying a Duralast Gold axel (lifetime warranty still).

I've been running Duralast Remans for years. I usually get 2-3 years on a set before I get vibration on acceleration. I never get to the point of clicking. I drive my car too hard, and anytime I notice anything feels or sounds off, swap it out. That's the perks of lifetime warranty...

As for quality of them, if my experience doesn't tell you that I'm satisfied, just know that this guy hit 200mph in his integra on autozone axels...

Carquest brand from Advanced Auto has horrible reviews! That I saw last night while I was trying to find the closest store with a driver side CV. Autozone is generally a small notch above most generic parts vendors in my book.
