ok when i turn theres this loud clicking sound, i mean loud, also it feels like my steering is going loose for a second, then comming back, it clicks and clicks untill i straighten the wheel, then it stops..

ive replaced the CV joints... gettin tire rod ends changed cuz bad things happened to em... any ideas what this could be?

yah check steering, ball joints, cvs replaced make sure their is nothing leaking from under you car your axles could be in wrong. Tie rods for sure make loud noises.

i have a similar problem as you at the moment with frotn end clunking.

LOL wierd I was just gonna make a new post on how this is happening on my car too. It only happens when i'm on the gas and turning left, or accelerating hard. New axles, just replaced wheel bearing thinking it was that. I'm kinda pissed cause that was a b---- to change that bearing. It sounds and feels like it does when your axle boot is torn and the joint is worn. But they are new, and they have been in my car for half the summer and haven't done anything until now. Any help would be great.

well i took it into a shop to get the tie rods changed because breaking em free is almost impossible if theyve never been changed before... they took a look at it, since we know the guy well, and he said that it was one of my cv joints(which i just had replaced) so im not sure if that really is what is it, but they said it was... so im gunna have the one they said was bad taken back down and rebuilt and then ill put it back in, and ill let ya guys know...

I know thats what it seems at first, but I had these axles in for like 6 months now. And when I change my springs and struts they go bad? What can happen inside a Axle when the boot is fine on both ends!? I'm really pissed about this! LOL

if they are reground cvs then they can go really fast. My cvs that were redone in australia lasted me 3 months and that wasnt being hard on corners or anything.

BRAND new cvs are your best bet other then upgrading to expensive s--- from driveshaft.com
