when i accelerate, sometimes there's a "click" on my passenger side. there's only one "click." what could it be? doesn't happen when i turn.

 

Could be the CV's beggining to go. Maybe something is loose?

 

how can i make sure that it's the cv boot about to go? anything i should look for when i go under there?

 

check and see if the cv boot is ripped. once it rips grease gets out and dirt gets in, accelerating the go-bad process. check all your other stuff for tightness(tierods,axle itself,swaybar....) does it click when u accelerate in a straight line, or only around turns???

 

only when i'm going straight. doesn't click when i turn.

Does it do it going forward just after moving in reverse?

 

no reverse. just straight forward on the streets.

 

check the A/C vibration mount... if the bolt isn't tight enough, under torque the metal center of the mount gets shifted and makes a big click sound.. . .. at least, that's what happened to me.

 

yeah my car does the same thing, but mine clicks multiple times.... ....i've always wondered where that noise came from....i guess now i know where to look...thanks!!!

i have no AC. no AC mounts or brackets on the block either.

 

damn that noise is annoying. had to put up with that in my old car. Its more then likely the cv joints thats what it turned out to be in mine atleast.

 

MY THEORY &lt;~~~flying right out the door.

LOL.

what's the price on changing the CV boot? would it be better if i just swap out the axel/boot?

if it's the inner it's about 8-10bux. If it's the outer, double it cause you'll have to get by the inner to get to the outer. If the axle is in decent shape, it is worth the time and money (not to mention mess) if it's a pretty beat axle... a rebuilt shouldn't cost more than $65-$70

 

since you're in socal, where can you get it done for that price? anywhere?

oh. that's just parts.... I can do it for $50 parts and labor to rebuild your axle. or $100 parts and labor for a new one.

 

id put money on it being the CV joints

i don't think anything is wrong with my axels since i just got it rebuilt.

 

if it turns out to be the cv joint is bad- just get a new axle. go to autozone and get the 70 dollar one with lifetime warranty. trust me- it felt soo good to get free axle when mine broke
