Cv Axle Clicking When Turning

Also, cv joints are inspected for signs of cracks, rips, tears, and punctures, which causes grease to leak out and dirt in.

Cv axle clicking when turning. I have a mysterious clicking noise coming from the driver side when turning left. I have the same issue with the clicking when turning left at low speeds. Not only does this take the project time down from three to four hours to less than 30 minutes, but it also means no.

The most common symptom of a bad cv axle is a clicking noise when turning. This is also one of the most noticeable and the most common sign. Most times it is the outer, (closest to the wheel) since that is the one that gets most of the action.

This problem can be due to lack for grease or the cv joint is just worn out and needs replacement. Naturally thought it was the wheel bearing so i changed it. Usually a torn boot is an indicator of no grease in the cv joint itself and what you're hearing is the knuckles in the cv clicking.

It only occurs when making left turns under moderate acceleration and varies with speed. The inner joint is located right where the transmission hooks to the axle. You can drive on a damaged cv joint for a little while, but there’s no telling how long “safe” operation will last.

My guess would be the cv axle. I can’t go back there right away, because it is about 2.5 hours away. It drives great, except for a clicking/binding that occurs while making left turns under moderate throttle that i suspect is a bad cv joint.
