Well, low & behold a new problem! Geez i am being thrown a slew of issues with this damn car, one thing after the next ya know? Anyways, i went to make a U-Turn i heard the infamous clicking sound...I am like oh shiat! what happens if you don't fix it? Or long periods of driving it this way? Is it something i can fix myself? The cost? I'd really appreciate help from you guys, thanks,

Blessed Be,

go ahead and fix it. a new axle from napa or somewhere is like $50, and it's really easy to change

 

there was just a thread on this a few days ago

fix it now or else it'll REALLY bug you

 

The boot won't click. The joint clicks. If you already hear clicking, just replace the whole axle. Nobody should risk a failed CV joint to save $75.

 

yep boot just protects the joint from getting dust / water inside of it

replace it, it only cost like $90 to get it installed if you shop around - IMO it's a lot easier - it gets so annoying after a while

also, long period effects of not fixing it include, wheel falling right off the axel, hearing a popping noise until it does fly off the axle, annoyance, annoyance, annoyance

just fix it!
