That sounds like a bad CV joint. There like 100 bucks plus paying someone to change them out...It can get as high as 300 bucks to replace if you cant do it yourself. Didnt anyone else read this and think to mention that?

No, the last relevant post is NOW!


I'm running out of breakfast food. No milk, no penut butter, all I had was oatmeal.
I had to dump some sugar, pinch of salt, bit of vanilla and cinnamon and it still tastes like crap. AND I have to go back to work. You know what that means?

Oatmeal mush and rush rush rush!

Actually someone did mention it...
that clicking your describing could be a CV joint going bad. Cheap to do yourself... will cost you a couple hundred at a shop most likely.

I have a 95 Precidia with 332,000+km on it and its still going good. These cars are pretty easy to work on. If you have any guy friends that are mechanically inclined they should be able to help you out with any of the common problems. As long as you keep up with regular maintenance that car should last you for quite some time. I think $3800 is a little step though, I only pair $1300 for mine a few years ago. Thats my 2 cents anyway.
