Noisy Axle...

OK, I wasn't sure where to post this, because its not really engine, and its not really suspension.

Ok here's the problem.

When I turn left (fairly sharply) [and only left] I hear clacking from the passenger side of the car, but this noise goes away after I have driven the car for a while. My best guess is bad CV joint.

You guess right.

And I think stuff like this would go in Maintenance...as it was put in General before I moved it. :D

CV joint gone bad. Had my half-shalfs rebuilt a month a go for 45 a piece. It fixed my problem.

What was your problem Courtney B?

My CV boots cracked and the joints spun all their grease out. I just had to have then cleaned out, repacked with grease and then rebooted. Simple fix.

When i am turning into a parking spot, going rather slow (bout 2-3 mph) i can hear a "click-click" coming from the front somewhere.

Would this be an indication of a worn CV joint or bearing or brake problem? :) monkeys like me dont know much =)

I'm getting new brakes put on Friday (Power Slots and Metal Masters), I thought about a brake problem too, If it is I'll let you know.

hey A380Driver,
its most likely your axle's
either rebuild them or buy new ones.
