The older axle, which was installed just about 2 years ago, was purchsed from NAPA and was supposedly the best on the market (which is not saying much). And yes Subaru Nut, it only happens on acceleration. You could be right about it being the inner joint. I know the noise is coming from the driver side which has the older axle but I'm almost certain it isn't coming from the outer joint. That's why I was wondering if it was coming from the tranny.

Hey Folks -- my Loyale wagon is making me a little crazy (and a little poorer) these days. There has been a clicking noise coming from the front end for about a year. While the noise is similar to that made by worn CV joints, it can't be the CV joints because both axles have been replaced in the last 2 years and the noise only seems to occur when the car is running down the road in pretty much a straight line. Up until recently the noise would go away after about 10 minutes of driving. What is even stranger is if I have a passenger, I don't hear any clicking at all. I thought it might be a wheel bearing but I can't find even the slightest play in either front wheel. Is my tranny (manual) about to self destruct?
