I just replaced mine. Getting the axle nut off took hours. I went and got a 2ft long 1/2" breaker bar and it finally worked. This is after torching it for 5 minutes straight too. That was the only hard thing to figure out, the rest was pretty easy. Also nowadays it's best just to replace the whole axle, no good reason not to.
I would hear a clunk and it was my upper control arm. Now I’m leaking power steering from my rack and pinion so I’m ordering a new one. I just want my car to sound smooth again at this point I’m doing whole front suspension one piece at a time.
My car makes clicking noise too I didn’t see any tears on the boots but I noticed my tie rods swivel to much so I’m hoping replacing those would fix the clicking noise if not then it’s this lol
@@Motorcarnutand what happens when the clicking noise not load sometimes happens when just going straight it’s 1.8 vtec I really hope it’s not the transmission because it feels silky smooth need to take it to my mechanic next week I’m a bit worried I hope it’s just the cv joints I would rather upgrade them for the power flex ones than the original parts
My escape has 202k on it and the drivers side cv axle was doing this but it didn’t have a torn boot. I replaced it and took the old one apart and the grease had liquefied so I assume that’s why mine went bad.
hearing a clicking noise when going straight, doesnt seem to get louder/faster with speed, most prominently heard at 20-50mph. no play in all 4 wheels, no grease anywhere. thinking transmission coupler? any idea?
I have a golf 6 gti where i changed right cv axel, both spring(one was broke), suspensions flange and some bushes. I still have a sound when i turn left and its more noticeble when im on bumpy roads. Any advice?
Hard to know without hearing what you're talking about, sure it isn't coming from the left side? Could be s brake shield? Or the worse would be the output shaft on the transmission. But if it happens over bumps it's probably something hitting in the suspension somewhere.
What would be a small thump noise when the car is on and in park. I turn the steering wheel slightly left a few times i hear a small thump noise. It wont make noise when driving and turning. Just when in park or if im parallel park or pulling out of park while turning left?
Hi! My VW Polo when driving straight is no issue but when i do a u turn or move the steering left and right enough, it make a sound like a bed spring? Not sure if its even save to drive or not
Currently having a similar issue with my 2019 equinox with 71k miles. I just had the sway links replaced since they were pretty shot and the drive feels a bit better. I tested my car at around 20-25 miles an hour and I can hear this weird knocking/clicking noise when I'm doing little "evasive maneuvers." In other words turning the wheel sharply left and right while going down the road. The noise happens when turning both left and right as well. I'm hoping its an inner tie rod out of wack, since the tie rods don't look great either. Any advice?
Can very well be the tie rods. If you can get a crowbar in the joints while the truck is on the ground see if you can see excessive movement from any parts of the steering, if so tht would be the culprit.
Hey mate, my 1994 Hilux makes an aggressive clicking noise when travelling at 20-40kph no matter what direction I’m driving, I just recently had both cvs replaced. Any ideas at what it could be?
Hi sir, my alto LXI 2010 Front wheels when turning clicking noise ... I am recently new staring rack replacement.. but turning clicking noise not stopped... What solution turning clicking noise ???
My boots look completely fine and this noise happens like 20 minutes after driving or sometimes five minutes it's very inconsistent. If it wasn't cv joint for a clicking noise when turning what else could it be?
Could be something near the axles that are interfering with the wheels, maybe the brake shield or a wheel bearing starting to fail. Very rare cases I’ve seen it to be the transmission.
Thank you for this video I have a 2021 Hayundai Kona and it makes this noise you describe when I'm turning and backing in sometimes. It makes the noise on the right side. Is this something that you think is covered under warranty ? Thank you in advance for any advice.😊 Excellent !!! video
I have click noise on my CX5 2023, only when turning right and only hear the click noise if my turning more than 20mph. No clicks while reversing nor in complete stop. I was able to record some videos since I can easily replicate the noise. I wonder if this would be the CV joint...
I have already, even took out one of the guys out for a drive to replicate the noise, they acknowledged it and yet their conclusion is to drive without the headrest on. Lol. However, I will be going back soon, demanded for a loaner and asked them to figure it out.
My mechanic just replaced all my shocks and struts and my car was to low scraping the ground. I contacted the seller i bought the kit from and he sent me a video on how to highten the front struts. I lifted the front about 2.5 inches and as soon as i left my work now i hear the clicking metal noise when i start to turn my wheels left or right. So im gonna lower my car by half an inch hoping it would make the noise go away. And its only when im still and about to turn making a left or right. I guess ill still buy the rest of the parts to replace since i did the shocks and struts if the noise dont go away.
@@MotorcarnutHi, we just had my struts replaced and shocks about a month ago… now I hear clicking noise only when make a sharp turn. Does that have something to do with the struts??🤔
Yup noise got worse as I turned left and right so I bought Monroe struts and installed them myself and noise went away. But I still get a small break rubbing noise when I make a left turn, and I got my cars alignment done.
Same problem I have right now only when turning left or when I’m a complete stop and I accelerate fast I hear the clunky noise but once I go straight I won’t hear it anymore, I took it to a shop and they told me it’s transfer case which I don’t believe it is, even when we look underneath the car ,the front drive side cv axle was leaking max grease and rubber it’s broken, they still for some reason keep saying it’s transfer case , so I took it out of the shop , will look for another mechanic , any advice????
I have a 2020 WRX that click/creaks when turning left at slow speeds, or backing out of driveway. It sounds suspension related, but onky happens when a change in the steering geometry takes place. I did outer tie rod, the inner moves fine and silent, I have zero play in my wheel, and my top mounts seem fine. tF?
@@Motorcarnut turned out it was the passenger top mount. It was racked from an impact, so when it reached a certain point in the rotation it would “flop over” and rub on itself. 10 minute / $50 fix. 😎👍
Well mines only make a noise when I first leave forward or in reverse. Only once it did it consistently for like 3 secs in very slow speed. Literally to park. I checked and i do have a ripped boot. Chances are that’s what is giving me the clicking right?
Depends on how bad they are, If I were there I can tell you but I'm not. Because if they fail the vehicle could get stuck like it's in neutral and could be dangerous.
Mine has been light clicking for about a few weeks. I’m getting ready to check it out. I think I’ll grease it and reattach the boot before replacing the whole axle. Lol.
I got a 1999 Buick regal it makes a clicking noise I cannot find it I had my dad look to see if he could find sense he’s a mechanic and he couldn’t find it so we replaced the cv axle and it still makes a clicking sound when I turn the wheel to the right I don’t know what is it
@@Motorcarnut I honestly thought something is rubbing I’m still not to sure tho it only does it when you turn it to the right it doesn’t do it when you turn left that’s what is strange about it but thank you anyway :)
@@Motorcarnutwhat about just a single click/thud on wheel full lock? New arm with ball joint, new tie rod end installed. For failed cv joint I was expecting multiple click/continuous noise…. Many thanks
Hard to know without seeing it since you replaced a lot of parts already but there is got to be play somewhere in the steering could be the rack or steering shaft
I'm pissed because this use to be a cheap fix. I need two CV's! I was all excited to get them fixed this weekend only to have to put it off for a while. Thank goodness i have two vehicles. 500. Job is now 1150 😡🤬😡🤬😡. I showed them the receipt from a couple of years ago. Labor prices, etc have changed. I usually fix once and never have issues again. Twice I've had to get same part replace. Ac compressor on my cadillac went bad. Got that replaced it was still on warranty! Now my CVS was done two years ago so I have to come out of pocket for that 😢😢😢😢.
Well that's why you do it yourself! I did. It only costed $30 for tools, for the long breaker bar I needed. I already had all the other tools. But that's way too much for that. This is an easy job if you got the right tools. You're being scammed. This is why I try to do all the labor myself whenever possible.
@Motorcarnut I've thought about doing it myself. But I don't have what I need to do it. I'll shop around first before rent tools needed to do it myself.
@austinhernandez2716 I said the same thing. That's way too much money for that. And yeah doing it myself was the second option. It's way too hot in Florida and where I park there's no shade. I'll shop around for a bit and if all else fails. I'll just do like you said and rent tools needed. I do everything else myself. But never this though.
IS IT A "CLICKING" SOUND OR "CLUNKING" SOUND?? AND HOW LOUD IS THIS SOUND?? DO YOU HAVE TO ROLL YOUR WINDOWS DOWN TO HEAR IT OR CAN YOU HEAR IT FROM INSIDE THE CAR??
I had clicking noise on my CRV when turn steering wheel. I changed the drivers side cv axle it went away but it still does it faintly not as loud as before very minor when turning. What can this be??
Hey. I’m having this exact noise in my car when turning the wheel. But I’m also noticing my steering wheel is pulling me to the left now, and my steering wheel also has a lot of play / is loose. It seems dangerous to drive at high speeds. Could these be related?
Very possible, I would have it checked out immediately because a ball joint or any part of the suspension or steering can just become loose and fall off.
Hey boss im getting a single click sound from my rear left wheel, specifically when going up a driveways. I looked under and noticed grease leaking from the axle on the diff side. I got it changed but im still getting a single clicking every time i go up driveways an sometimes when i give it full throttle
Those can be tricky to find because you can’t be under the car while it’s making that noise. It could be a wheel bearing, axle on outer side something in the suspension as well
When i steer my car full it makes tik tik tik sound, that's too from one left end of car. It wasn't there until I done servicing of my car. It started only after servicing. They had removed both front shockers for inspection. Can you please advise?
If the clinking noise is constant then I wouldn’t think it’s the ball joints but if they are really bad it may appear to be constant and either way should be replaced because of safety concerns.
I drive a Tl also and I have a grinding/scrapingg noise when I turn left or right. even in park and when I drive straight its fine any ideas.@@Motorcarnut
So I had no clicking, more of a clunk. Swapped CV axles, now I hear a low click sound but only when steering wheel is turned, also had all my tie rod ends replaced as well.
@Motorcarnut I recently tightened down the sway bar brackets and changed the sway bar links in my car. That's when this stuff started happening. Maybe I frigged some of that up and that's why?
I have bad Cv joint but no fluid comes out it has been clicking for more than five moths now when I do turns. Today, while on the highway 🛣️ the both front wheels 🛞 behaved as if they are going to ripped apart when I slow dow everything became normal. So, I realised it’s time to change it straight away I can’t afford to take risk anymore.
@@Motorcarnut very true, I honestly need to replace my entire front suspension… but this is a good start. In total I plan on replacing the hubs, axles, upper and lower control arms, pittman arm, swar bar links, and shocks.
@Motorcarnut It doesn't vibrate like my primary car did, which got bad going from vibrating at high speeds (55-65) to low speeds (35-45mph) eventually and gradually. Replaced drivers side cv axle and all is good. On my old car (07 Saturn Ion-2 2.2) it's just a slight click/faint thump. No vibration at all. Think I should replace them or I got a while?
I just had a tire change due to a hit and run. Got my car back two days ago and now it's clicking randomly. I noticed it is during turns . Also there is a small puddle near that tire.
@@Motorcarnut $200 an hour? Oh god lol I’m gonna try to find a mechanic. I know Honda is gonna kill my pockets smh. I’m just concerned it isn’t gonna be done correctly if I don’t go to Honda 🥴
@janaya36 that’s why I said try an independent shop, it’s an axle not too hard to do, you can watch some of my videos on axle removal and do it yourself if you’re handy.
@@Motorcarnuti think its the cv joint cuz they said the boot was alittle separated when i got my brakes and rotors done. After i got it dont i start hearing this light knocking type noise when i turn right mainly
I have a Chevy Malibu 2005. It makes a grinding clicking noise only when I turn right or do a u-turn also makes a squeaking noise whenever I go over a hump or railroad tracks. When I turn left it doesn’t make that noise.
It's probably one of the cv joint axles going bad, look at the boots and see it you see wet grease of ripping and the squeak is probably one of the suspension parts that are worn.
Yup this is is exactly what’s going on with mine. Anytime I turn sharp right. It’s so loud and embarrassing lol
Take care of it asap before it leaves you stranded and that can be unsafe.
Can you still drive it like this
Embarrassing LMAO I’m in the same boat
Is it possible it just needs grease,mine looks just like the video no grease around, no torn boot,is it possible it just needs grease?
@@josecasarez6318 Yes but has to be done asap

I agree on replacing the whole axle. And never hit the axle with a hammer can damage the axle itself and the wheel bearing.

Yes, there are many things that can make the front end click or clunk from axles to suspension and steering
it could also be the tie rod or the lower ball joint
They don’t making a consistent clicking noise
Yah, it’s a repeating click
My car makes a single click in sharp turns, shop couldn’t find the issue 😢 I still think it’s the ball joint but I dont have the tools to check
Tie rod/sway bar link and even ball joint is more than likely a clunking or knocking, cv joint would click or scrape rather than knock
Thank you!
You're welcome!
What about the grinding when turning wheel at low speeds and squeaking constant over bumps?
That can be anything in the front end really, steering, suspension axles etc.
My car makes clicking noise too I didn’t see any tears on the boots but I noticed my tie rods swivel to much so I’m hoping replacing those would fix the clicking noise if not then it’s this lol
Does it make the clicking noise when turning?
@@Motorcarnut yes it only when it’s turning right and left. One side clicks more then the other
its the CV joints ( front axles) that need to be replaced, tie rods won't make a clicking noise but it they have play should be replaced as well.
Check the wheel bearings
@@Motorcarnutand what happens when the clicking noise not load sometimes happens when just going straight it’s 1.8 vtec I really hope it’s not the transmission because it feels silky smooth need to take it to my mechanic next week I’m a bit worried I hope it’s just the cv joints I would rather upgrade them for the power flex ones than the original parts

That’s normal it probably just worn out from the mileage. Nothing lasts forever
My truck makes a popping noise only when I’m turning the wheel to the right. And when I drive it shake a bit, can this be a sign of the cv axle?
Yes it can

Hard to say without seeing it but check axle boots for leaks, any joints on suspension and steering that may be loose with a crowbar things like that.
My ford edge 2013 all ways made the cliking noise on left turn defect from factory still have it and runing scharp.
Really? Doesn’t seem normal to me?
What if it’s rear wheel drive? And it does the same?
That can be a wheel bearing or something with the front brakes such as brake shield or hardware etc.
I can only say thank you .
You’re welcome!

Cv joints sound more like clicking not knocking.
Can you please tell the price of axles of civic x 2017. My car also gives the sound on turning. Please tell
Just look up the online sites like autozone, advance auto parts or even Amazon. Should be around $75.00 each
What about squeaking noise when making sharp turn or u turn and even into a parking space?
Something rubbing metal to metal on the suspension somewhere, look for rusted joints!
It can be the tie rods too, changed axels and still heard clicking changed tie rods and it’s gone
Absolutely, and thanks for the extra information!

Yes CV joints on the axle rod
Correct

@steven5509 40 thousand. I took it to the dealership for service and they clam that the didn't hear the noise.
usually covered under power train warranty
My makes noise when you accelerate and let go the pedal. What yall think it could be? (2010 Nissan rogue)
Still can be the axles or something in the suspension.
I had the issue changed both of my CV axel n I still hear it cracking any body?
Best to post a video of the noise
My 2008 Crv makes a crunching type of sound when turning. Can you possibly help me
With like this it’s best to post a video on your channel and I’ll give it a listen.

If it's just the axles depends on if they use new or rebuilt ones and if both are bad. Range $150 to $300 per axle
hey, my c300 is having the same noise and the there’s a grease on one joint…how much did it cost you to repair yours ?
What if its new truck thats only 2k miles. Could such a problem still occur?
Not really, no. Unless the cv joint boot got ripped somehow and all the grease came out.

Check the axle boots for rips or grease

When it clicks only when im turning do i only need to replace the boot or the whole axle?
The whole axle, when it starts clicking it’s too late.

Thanks
This just happened to me my mechanic ended up putting grease and the noise went away thankfully
Ok, Just keep an eye on it. Why did the grease come out? should be the question to ask the mechanic so it doesn't happen again.
Hej boss I have just 1 clunk in the morning before driving if I turn wheels left or right later is silent. What can be
Engine or transmission mount

If nothing is rubbing on the brakes or caliper, the last resort would be the front diff on the transmission. But that is rare.
@@Motorcarnut I honestly thought something is rubbing I’m still not to sure tho it only does it when you turn it to the right it doesn’t do it when you turn left that’s what is strange about it but thank you anyway :)
It's probably not the transmission because It would do it regardless of which way you're turning. Check for wheel bearing play.
thank you. this video was really helpful
You're welcome! Thanks for the reply!
Can I change the CV axle boot with an aftermarket CV axle kit? Or does the axle food and the kit have to be the same making model?
As long as it’s for you particular vehicle than it’s fine.
And what are the highest chances if I hear creaking noise when turning steering wheel when car is not moving? Drivers side somewhere around the wheel.
Any part of the front suspension or steering components
@@Motorcarnut only when wheel is loaded. No noise when jacked up. Will try to lube one by one. Silicone?

Can still be the axles depending on how bad they are.

Check the heat shield that surrounds your caliper. It could be something simple as that.

I'll shop around for a bit and if all else fails. I'll just do like you said and rent tools needed. I do everything else myself. But never this though.
@Quis85 I hear you! Good luck!
IS IT A "CLICKING" SOUND OR "CLUNKING" SOUND?? AND HOW LOUD IS THIS SOUND?? DO YOU HAVE TO ROLL YOUR WINDOWS DOWN TO HEAR IT OR CAN YOU HEAR IT FROM INSIDE THE CAR??
Clicking sound, and depending on how bad it is you can hear it pretty loud
I had clicking noise on my CRV when turn steering wheel. I changed the drivers side cv axle it went away but it still does it faintly not as loud as before very minor when turning. What can this be??
Something in the steering or suspension I would say if that axle is new
Wheel hub assembly can do it too
@braydens7167 Thank you! Yes it can be
How much is it to change
$75 to $250
Hey. I’m having this exact noise in my car when turning the wheel. But I’m also noticing my steering wheel is pulling me to the left now, and my steering wheel also has a lot of play / is loose. It seems dangerous to drive at high speeds. Could these be related?
Very possible, I would have it checked out immediately because a ball joint or any part of the suspension or steering can just become loose and fall off.
@@Motorcarnut thank you so much. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
No problem, good luck!
Mine clicks coasting or going dwn hill ant 30mph is this cv joint
Usually no when going straight, but if severely worn they could.
Hey! Is it the same thing with the rear? Whenever I turn or go up speed bumps I tend to hear the same clicking noise? Any idea?
Yes if you have all wheel or rear wheel drive.
@@Motorcarnut I have a civic, FWD
@christianocampo3871 oh, so it’s probably a suspension part or wheel bearing
Hey boss im getting a single click sound from my rear left wheel, specifically when going up a driveways. I looked under and noticed grease leaking from the axle on the diff side. I got it changed but im still getting a single clicking every time i go up driveways an sometimes when i give it full throttle
Those can be tricky to find because you can’t be under the car while it’s making that noise. It could be a wheel bearing, axle on outer side something in the suspension as well
@@Motorcarnut I replaced the axle just a few days ago
I know, can be the other things I mentioned
For me, it's more like a rattling.
I have a video on tracking down rattling, check it out
When i steer my car full it makes tik tik tik sound, that's too from one left end of car. It wasn't there until I done servicing of my car. It started only after servicing. They had removed both front shockers for inspection. Can you please advise?
You have to go back to the people who serviced the car and tell them, they obviously done something wrong.
@@Motorcarnut thank you for reply. Does shocker roger makes any noise i have added rogers in front shocker. Also visiting the tomorrow.
@walterwhite8333 I don’t know
@@Motorcarnut Ok thank you so much. Happy holidays 🎄🎂🎁
@walterwhite8333 no problem, you as well!
Hi my car got same problem when Turning Clicking sound but I check it's not Gracie or Ripped 🤔
?
@Motorcarnut
He saying the clicking is there but the boots aren't ripped and there is no sign of grease....
I replaced both my cv axles but I still hear the clicking noise whenever I turn. Any ideas what it is?
What vehicle do you have?
@@Motorcarnut 06 Acura TL. My mechanic mentioned I have to get my ball joints replaced soon as well but I’m not sure that is what’s causing the noise
If the clinking noise is constant then I wouldn’t think it’s the ball joints but if they are really bad it may appear to be constant and either way should be replaced because of safety concerns.
I drive a Tl also and I have a grinding/scrapingg noise when I turn left or right. even in park and when I drive straight its fine any ideas.@@Motorcarnut
Could be anything where the brake calipers are, many things like brakes dragging to cv joints to transmission
Mines a small clicking noise will it still be that?
Yes, it can be just starting.
What if it is just on pop when I run left
Still can be axle
Excellent video man
Thanks you! Really appreciate the comment!
So I had no clicking, more of a clunk. Swapped CV axles, now I hear a low click sound but only when steering wheel is turned, also had all my tie rod ends replaced as well.
Was the cvjoint new , used ir re manufactured?
It makes a whistling sound to me, I suspect the wheel bearing, what do you think?
Yes, try turning the wheel one way then the other and see if the noise is louder on one side that would be the side with the bad wheel bearing
@@Motorcarnut Thank you
@lazarcuric9847 no problem
If it's clicking when your tirning, chances are you have a POS Kia or Hyundai
Come on, all vehicles can do that
I hear one click when fully turning the wheel, either left or right turn.
Still can be the axle or something in steering.
@Motorcarnut I recently tightened down the sway bar brackets and changed the sway bar links in my car. That's when this stuff started happening. Maybe I frigged some of that up and that's why?
@Archfiend90210 possibly? It’s in that area so shouldn’t be too hard to find it
I have very strong sound it doesn’t matter which direction I drive
From what you’re describing it can be anything, need more info or take a video
@@Motorcarnut I have video how can I send it
@@undertaker9956 post it to your channel I’ll take a look
@@Motorcarnut ok gonna do it right now
Is this expensive to fix or change?
If it’s the axles depends on who does it. DIY and save money.
Same noise but no leak, what is it for me?
Can still be the axles but also check suspension and steering for play.
How about if im hearing clicking while driving straight at a low speed?
Same for me 2011 cadi SRX
Happens when I accelerate at low speeds and when turning but I can drive on the highway smoothly
Can be the same thing, axles can be more worn than normal.
Worn axles will do this
.
I have bad Cv joint but no fluid comes out it has been clicking for more than five moths now when I do turns. Today, while on the highway 🛣️ the both front wheels 🛞 behaved as if they are going to ripped apart when I slow dow everything became normal. So, I realised it’s time to change it straight away I can’t afford to take risk anymore.
Definitely, you’ll end up getting stuck and can be unsafe as well.
Did it solve the issue? My front wheels make clicking noises when turning much like a punctured tire would
Mine seems like the "clicking" worsens when I put it in 4 wheel drive...
Can be the transfer case
@Motorcarnut gosh I hope not...gonna replace the CV / shaft anyways (next payday lol) and report back what I find
@charlesalready Me too, but it’s gets worse with 4wd engaged, I’d think it would be less with it engaged.
About to replace my hubs and axles… ugh.
I know it’s not the best work to do but necessary.
@@Motorcarnut very true, I honestly need to replace my entire front suspension… but this is a good start.
In total I plan on replacing the hubs, axles, upper and lower control arms, pittman arm, swar bar links, and shocks.
@videos-for-friends The the front end will be nice and tight! And should last a long time after all that work.
Thanks bro, what about coming to a stop and hearing grinding sound? Or clicking going str8 but only going slow???
Thank you!
Can be something with the braking system or still be a bad axle.
Sounds like a wheel bearing.
What if it clicks when you change the gears from R to D??
Could be a bad engine mount.
engine mount? ha yeah right, U-joints most likely
Could be that too. Don’t have the vehicle in front of me to tell them exactly what’s the problem.
Mine clicks on sharp left and right turns but no grease. Still axles?
Most likely yes.
@Motorcarnut
It doesn't vibrate like my primary car did, which got bad going from vibrating at high speeds (55-65) to low speeds (35-45mph) eventually and gradually. Replaced drivers side cv axle and all is good.
On my old car (07 Saturn Ion-2 2.2) it's just a slight click/faint thump. No vibration at all. Think I should replace them or I got a while?
@adictiveadictive you should be good for a while just keep an eye on them and I wouldn’t go on any long trips before changing them.
2010 jeep grand Cherokee limited replaced both cv axles and still getting some clicking every now and then, drives great no grinding
Clicking noise ?? Mines does a loud bang everytime i make a u-turn and hit the gas..
Can be a lot of things including the transmission, should have it checked soon.
@@Motorcarnut the sound comes from the left side of my front wheel.. i can hear it clearly
Maybe the wheel bearing
Click or pop there is a difference
Clicking
I just had a tire change due to a hit and run. Got my car back two days ago and now it's clicking randomly. I noticed it is during turns . Also there is a small puddle near that tire.
You have to make sure the transmission didn't get damaged in the hit and run
Brakes
Mine does this only when its cold.
Still can be the axles, check boots make sure there is no grease coming out of them
@@Motorcarnut it definitely is. The boot has a hole.
@aricv1295 that’s your problem! Got to replace the axle not the boot it’s too late.
About how much does Honda charge to replace this? 😢
My car makes a very loud ticking noise during a sharp turn and u turn on the driver side. Is there something specific that causes this?
Yes, probably the front cv Joint axle is failing.
You would have to ask them, depends on their hourly rate. Dealers are more expensive than indys but should be no more than $200 per axle.
@@Motorcarnut $200 an hour? Oh god lol I’m gonna try to find a mechanic. I know Honda is gonna kill my pockets smh. I’m just concerned it isn’t gonna be done correctly if I don’t go to Honda 🥴
@janaya36 that’s why I said try an independent shop, it’s an axle not too hard to do, you can watch some of my videos on axle removal and do it yourself if you’re handy.
I changed mine & it’s still clicking
Should be diagnosed by local mechanic, could be the wheel bearings, something simple like dust shield rubbing or transmission.
Did you figure out what it was ? Changed mine twice & still clicking.
If its a 2.4 theta engine in that Kia, the CV is the least of your problem
Stay on topic, video is not about the engine
When you say a clicking noise? Could it sound like a knocking Noise also.
If it were bad enough, probably
@@Motorcarnuti think its the cv joint cuz they said the boot was alittle separated when i got my brakes and rotors done. After i got it dont i start hearing this light knocking type noise when i turn right mainly
Yes they are probably bad.
@Motorcarnut okay thanks I'll go ahead and let the shop change my cvs on both sides
No problem.
I have a Chevy Malibu 2005. It makes a grinding clicking noise only when I turn right or do a u-turn also makes a squeaking noise whenever I go over a hump or railroad tracks. When I turn left it doesn’t make that noise.
It's probably one of the cv joint axles going bad, look at the boots and see it you see wet grease of ripping and the squeak is probably one of the suspension parts that are worn.
Yoo for me it’s the exact opposite any solutions????
Thank you!
You're welcome!
