When I turn really slowly I hear a bunch of clicking almost light popping. It only happens when i have the wheel cranked all the way to the right, and sometimes to the left. I replaced my passenger side axle, I thought it might be my drivers side now, but i'm not sure. It also could be suspension, but i'm not sure. I am sure it isn't a ball joint or any of my control arm bushings cus i just replaced them hoping to solve the noise. It doesn't bother me, other than I don't want my car to fall apart when i'm going fast.

 

Go find a huge parking lot, start driving in a circle. First turn the wheel to the right and drive in a circle, then turn the wheel to the left and drive in a circle. If you here the noise, what ever way your turning thats the side the axle is bad on or is going bad.

not everyone is as smart as you Jackass


deffinatly your axles do what 90blackcrx said and replace that axle and you should be good

 

It is your constant-velocity axle (CV). Also known as a driveshaft at most auto-retail shops like autozone, napa, advance, oreilly's etc.

Best way to make sure is to slip your hand underneath the car and go behind each front wheel. Very close to the wheel and brake assemblies is a rubber boot (sheath/covering). Use your fingers and give it a good all around feel (remember the first time in the back seat, yeah, imagine something like that). If you notice tears in the boot, and it is spitting out grease, you need a new axle. I'd recommend replacing axles over replacing boots as road dirt and grime contaminate the grease as soon the boot is torn, eventually, even with replacing the boot, the axle is toast.

Most auto-repair shops like Midas, carX, Meineke and Firestone charged on average $150-$200 to replace them. A good friend will do them for 20-50. The axle costs around 50-70. Best of luck.

Have a nice day.

You can do either just the joint or the whole axle...me personally, I'd grab the lifetime autozone axle deal....I've never done a CV joint change but changing an axle isnt very hard, I'd stick with what I know.

 

That is what i figured it was, just didn't want to spend the money, i want to get my Supercharger. Thanks for the info, by the way ME2 your an *** man, why don't you figure something else to do then correct people on their mistakes. I guess i'll be putting in a new axle.

 

Yep, it's your axle alright. Just remember, if you hear clicking when you cut the wheel to the right, it's the driver side axle. It's always opposite of which way your wheel is turned.

 

I drive on highway all the time, get the new one, its critical part for safety
