pdxsuby Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I'm getting a clicking sound ONLY when I turn left and the car is cold. It sounds like a cv joint going bad. It sounds like it is coming from the front left tire area. Any ideas. Thank you to all that respond, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novakaine Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I second the CV/axel... I replaced my front left one at about 120k. There was no sound, my mechanic noticed it was torn so i told him to replace it. Avish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxsuby Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 However, I cannot find a tear in any of the two, left cv boots. Was yours internal. I mean, something wrong with the gears under the boots. What did you have replaced exactly? The boot or something else? THanks, John I second the CV/axel...

nipper Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 these things are under a lot of stress, and just wear out soetimes. You sont need a torn boot for it to happen. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Aramchek_ Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 how many miles you two ? nipper I'm at 191k miles,my clicking sound is definately coming from the general area of the wheel itself and usually only happens when I'm turning.

nipper Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 191K (miles?) well thats a good long time for a cv joint, you got a good life out of that axle, time for a new one. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outback_97 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hey John How's it going? Just to rule this out: Does the sound go away when you depress the brake pedal slightly? I had a loose brake pad that was making a clicking sound when turning, I knew it was something in the brakes because as soon as I pressed the brake pedal, the contact with the rotor would stop the pad from knocking around and clicking. Worth a try just to rule that out. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
