Default Axle Question

When turning to the right the axle is clicking. Which side is the problem? Passenger or Driver side?
Thanks for the help.

Get under the car and inspect your CV boots, which ever has the grease on the outside is the one that is clicking.

CV joints not axles.

Mostly likely its the driver's side cv. When you turn right, most of the weight is distributed to the driver's side, therefore you are putting more stress on that side. The angle of the axle increases also ..giving more stress to the cv.

yeah thats the driver side axle. Ive never found a way to fix this problem. I rebuilt my axle and it still made that sound. I thought it was the bearings popped out of the joint but maybe not???

It can be either joint making the noise- have someone stand outside while you drive in circles like an idiot - they can help pinpoint where it comes from. Also- driving in reverse may make it louder and easier to hear.
