Default just replaced both axles and they click when turning.....?

just put 2 remanufactured axles in my car last night.......but it clicks when i'am turning......before install it would click basically all the time.......now I have been told that the axles I got, had grease in the boots already but I didnt check......should I drive my car some more and see if the sound goes away? What should I do?

I go to the place where you bought the axles, let them hear the clicking, and they should give you new ones.

It could be either, try driving arround in a circle arround someone in both directions to try and determine which one is clicking. Rebuilt axles almost always come prelubed but you never know.

Reman axles will do that, most have a warrenty.. Take them back, get OEM or http://www.raxles.com axles.. Never, EVER get autoparts remans..

here is a freak possibility. when i owned my saturn i had the same problem. so i replaced the axels. still clicked. what ended up being the problem was the motor mount was starting to go. when ever i would turn it would have enough pressure to break through the rubber and make that clicking sound. worth checking it out at the least.
