Have you inspected the CV boots? Torn boot(s) would be an obvious need for replacement of that axle cuz of lost lubrication the boot is supposed to contain around the CV joint. Do you notice the clicking coming from one side or the other? Passenger side axles are longer than driver side so they tend to wear out faster on the pass side. The joint clicks cuz at certain speeds, accel/decel stresses, and turning angle stresses the worn "play" in the joint makes that clicking. Change of speed and/or turning angle produces differnt stress load and angle and the clicking stops when the play and stresses in the joint change as you drive.
Bad bearings tend to make more of a nasty vibration type rumble sound that you feel thru the whole car cuz the bearings actually support the wt. of the car - CV's do not. Bad bearings also tend to show themselves going bad when first accellerating or decellerating and often produce brake chatter as well due to their load-bearing job and the jumpy wheelplay under that load.
Sorry for the long reply but ya seemed like ya could use a hand and wth, I called out sick today neway.

Like the other said, it's the axles. Both of mine went out around the same time, thats probably not unusual. You only hear the clicks when it's under load (when you accelerate) thats why you don't hear it when you turn without gassing.
I paid 70 per axle remaned. New ones were 120 or so. Basically what Neutral said.

Your car is 13 years old. Age is just as bad, if not worse than milage. I have a 1960's caddy in my garage and despite it not being driven in 20 years it's not getting any younger. When it comes to axles the rubber gets old, cracks, lubricant goes bad/disapears, joint welds itself, axle explodes. Just cough up the $200. You'll be happy you did.e2blade wrote:at 40k miles this is normal?

The part name is "CV driveshaft." Napa sells em (listed as new, not reman) for $89 online
http://napaonline.com/masterpages/NOLMa ... &VehCode=Y
Another online source worth checking is http://www.rockauto.com/. You should also be able to get em through any regular NAPA parts store. I believe that Advance Auto Parts and Autozone stores also sell the reman CV driveshafts for ~$75 USD.

You can also get the same clicking problem if the spyder gears in the differential are on there way out as well.mr1in6billion wrote:Like the other said, it's the axles.

The usual cause for both axles to go at about the same time and/or the diff to go is the engine mounts are shot.
