Cv Axle Making Clicking Noise
If you listen closely, you may be able to tell which side it's coming from.
Cv axle making clicking noise. Cv joints are mounted on each end of a front axle, they transfer power to the wheels from the transmission. I pulled the wheel off and put the car in drive and listen for the noise. But there are times when a noise coming from under the car can be a serious matter.
This is sometimes also caused by a damaged cv joint, but can also be due to worn wheel bearings if you hear a clicking noise when turning. This accompanied by a lack of lubrication is another cause of the ‘clicking’ or ‘clucking’ noise you hear when the cv is dry and worn out. If any boot gets torn and leaks grease, it has to be replaced.
The brake pads look fine, good thickness, no glazing. (rear end) it isn't cv + axle related, as i don't hear clicking noises making sharp turns and so forth. Symptoms of a bad cv axle shaft.
It is possible to clean the debris out of the cv joint and repack it with new grease to slow the joint's destruction, but the noise will never go away, and eventually, you will need to replace the cv joint. My car has suffered from the well documented clicking noise (from drivers side) rear axle since purchase. The noise is on driver side 100%.
Clicking noise from front axle while turning. (it is possible of course that various different problems exist). During rotation of an unbalanced shaft, the whole car starts to vibrate.
It is possible that he hammered the hub over the axle damaging the balls on the outboard joint. This sounds like a wheel bearing. A car has 4 cv joints.
