I love that you cut the boot open and cleaned it up to show it to us, now I can pair the noise with a visual - now that sound makes perfect sense. Thanks.
Same problem hit me when I started my trip from uk to lithuania (2000km/1200mi) with my car. You cannot imagine the noise I was supposed to listen while driving 90/130kmh for 22 hours. The solution that I found most helpful by far was turning the music volume to max.
This is the only video I've found on RUclips that thorough explains exactly what is going on in the CV axle (with good visuals) causing the clicking sound! Well done! Thank you!
You're the only person that takes the time to show and explain the noise. Others show how the cv axle works, but no explanation about the noise. Thanks!
Thank you for verifying! I had replaced the front shocks and still heard the noise. I was thinking probably axle. And yep, because I hear the sound when I’m turning mainly at low velocities like going into a driveway or when I’m turning the wheels to park in reverse.
Hi there! I'm from Fiji, and I would like to simply say thank you for the very informative and educational explanation you've given, regarding CV joint problems. Now I get to understand my vehicular problems a little better than before. Thanks again, bro!
My neighbor was like hey your cv joints are bad i was like wow thanks and he was right lmao. And i had no idea wtf that noise was lol. I tried googling it before but never found this. But this is it! 😂
Great vid! Showing the clicking noises helped me pinpoint my problem. Also, thanks for removing the boot and cleaning the grease away so that we could see exactly how this happens. Sub'd.
That’s a real pop! I have a 2016 Scion tC and it’s more of a high pitched clink when I turn my wheel a solid rotation rather than a popping noise like in the video...
I had a car that had that noise. I felt the front of the car drop down. The next day I drove the car those balls rolled from under the tire. I took the used cv parts to auto zone in 3 pieces the guy looked at me and said if you was driving that car like that your lucky to be alive.
Hey folks! I've gotten some comments that the audio of the noise isn't all that great in the above video....So, I made another. It's a short one that only goes over the audio. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/sNuEUwOq4k0/видео.html
I remember hitting a bump/potholes with a focus and I left part of the ball joint at a intersection in San Antonio lol. It was slinging grease all over my rims. My rav4 is making a loud thunk popping and rattling on certain roads turns and accelerating.
I was told my boot was torn but I didn’t think anything of it now after 5 months 😵💫 (I know) I’m hearing clicking for 2 days from passenger side . I’ve seen online that my car could stop driving or moving . I’ve ordered the part but now I’m nervous to drive anywhere . Should I be concerned after only two days of the sound?
I enjoyed watching. I did notice grinding noise when turning and the wheel looks slanted and has a little play I think it’s the bearing. But could also be a bad cv axle. I appreciate your time.
I was stuck in deep sand in my FWD 4 cylinder van last month. Trying to get out I heard a few loud pops. I drove it home and now when the van has been parked for a while, when I first try to back out or drive off it makes a single popping noise, like a knuckles dislodging. After it makes the noise it does not make it again while driving.. i drove 300 miles stopping at countless intersections and it never made the noise until the following morning backing out of a parking space. Anybody got any ideas?
I have a slight click coming from the front end but my axels are on the rear. It only does it when i turn my wheel to the left and reversing. It drives me nuts
Thank you for this video. My steering is starting to make noises like this and I was curious as to the anatomy of it all to see what's really going on.
My 2012 Honda Odyssey also making the same noise like yours when I turn left and right. But only coming from the front passenger side, also, a small vibration when accelerates. Do you think this could be the axle or motor mounts? the front rotors shakes when braking from high speed like 60 above. Does a bad rotors will cause turning noise or acceleration vibration? Thanks
Is it more common for the front or rear to wear out on an all wheel drive Jeep? Im getting that clunking but its really hard to tell which ones its coming from.
My UK Fiesta just started making this noise. Hopefully, I can get it repaired at a decent price, now that I know what the cause may be. Thanks for the video 👍.
Great video with details! My Subaru Forester was making similar noises when turning at slow speeds. My mechanic said the axle needs to be replaced. My car was lifted 2" so I'm wondering if that could have caused the damage like this too?
Yep that's what I got on my Dodge Dakota right now among the Humming from Wheel Bearrings and when I jack up I put my hand 9-3 and can wiggle the tire so outer tie rod is done. I have to do it all???
Ok, I have a question. You said the noise is during acceleration. I have the opposite, same noise in this video but it's loud when there's not much or no load. When I'm downshifting / engine braking no noise and acceleration no noise. Note new bearings on driven wheels and new rotors and pads all the way around 90s acura cl
The sound on mine is only if im driving in second gear specially louder if i am making a great turn.. steering on first gear when just starting has no sound
A lot of times its less hassle and not a lot more expensive to replace the whole thing. Just the outer joint however are available for a lot of vehicles out there.
Yes, "typically" inner joints behave a little differently. Normally they don't cause noise when they fail. Usually a vibration is a symptom of a bad inner joint. It may cause a clunk type noise but I've not seen them make noises like an outer joint.
What could it be if the noise is between 20 and 40 kmph? It started at the right back wheel and now is on the drivers front side...And usually happens on a slight turns..lets say 2nd exit in the roundabout..It is a hybrid automatic 2014
Excellent vid best one for cv joints clicking by far. One of my passenger side cv boots had split, i ignores it and it lead to getting a new driveshaft. Not really dear though 61ukp for brand new driveshaft with 2 years guarantee for Z20LET engine. Its getting fitted in 1 day, Wednesday 17th February 2021 as the clicking is now terrible.
I have an issue with 2007 tsx where when I'm braking and turning at low speeds I will get a clicking noise. Going through drive thrus is the worst with braking and accelerating multiple times plus going around the corners at slow speeds. Noise coming to a stop and letting off the brakes. This seems to be a problem from the front right wheel. Also when the front right wheel hits a good bump at speeds it feels like it rattles a bit, sometimes the car will shake for a sec depending on the bump. But if I ever hit bumps on the left side of the car its still solid and doesnt really make much noise. Could those issues be caused by this CV axle? Edit: Also want to add that very rarely the steering wheel will become very shakey on some roads. Not sure what causes it as it's happened multiple times on the same road but never really any where else and this one road doesnt even appear to be worse than much of the other roads i drive on
@@BarboursAutoHelp Yeah I'm bringing to family friend soon who's a mechanic, he's just busy atm. Just wanted to poke around and try and get some ideas of what it was Thanks for reply
This really helped me understand what that noise is in my 2018 Ford Edge. Still under powertrain warrantee, I brought it into Ford dealership and they said my CV Boot is leaking, and they will replace it in 2 weeks after parts come in. They said that it is such a small leak, it will be ok for me to drive it to Key West Sunday, 500 miles each way. But I have been hearing this sound for a year or so. And how does he know how long it has been leaking? He didn't mention anything about the bearings, he said I just need my Boot replaced, but I do have that sound in my right drivers wheel when I turn. What do you or anyone else think? I believe it has been leaking for over a year. It has about 55,000 miles on it. Is it safe to drive? Update. I just went out and crawled under ant looked at the boots and axle. They all look clean and new and there is no grease splattered or leaking anywhere. The axle is not loose. The only thing is that when I make a sharp right turn, I hear 2 or 3 little pops
Perhaps the clicking is not the CV axle? Also, it's possible that the new axle is bad as well. There are times that I've gotten "bad" brand new parts....and a sometimes even from top shelf brands. It happens. Of course whoever I've gotten these "bad" parts from always makes it right. They are good business people.
I re-did my outer boots and added OEM Honda grease and after a few weeks click started, before it wasn’t there only torn boots, my guess is too much grease leaked out and joint got worn or I didn’t put enough grease but I used all that came with kit 😳
I always replace cv axles if the boots are busted, clicking or not. It was probably messed up before you put the boot on. Sometimes you can get lucky putting a boot on.
Watch a million videos on it for your car ,get familiar with the process. Buy the tools and parts needed Grab some beer, invite a friend And DIY Save you a couple bills
Here in seattle people freak out when they hear a clicking noise , something they have hardly ever heard before, but then they realize that they accidently turn there blinker on
A lot of times the answer to that question is vehicle specific. Some manufacturers recommend new axle seal and nut with axle replacement. I'd strongly suggest getting a reputable manual and following the manuals recommendations.
This started to happen right after the shop replaced this now I'm waiting for them to open on Monday to make them fix it.. idk if the part was defective or what. But now I can't work all weekend
Cool tip i figured out. Just turn your music up really loud and the ticking stops! That easy
I love that you cut the boot open and cleaned it up to show it to us, now I can pair the noise with a visual - now that sound makes perfect sense. Thanks.
Glad to help
Good, video finally someone show the noise.
Same problem hit me when I started my trip from uk to lithuania (2000km/1200mi) with my car. You cannot imagine the noise I was supposed to listen while driving 90/130kmh for 22 hours. The solution that I found most helpful by far was turning the music volume to max.
This is the only video I've found on RUclips that thorough explains exactly what is going on in the CV axle (with good visuals) causing the clicking sound! Well done! Thank you!
When I turn it sounds like I’m going up on a rollercoaster
You're the only person that takes the time to show and explain the noise. Others show how the cv axle works, but no explanation about the noise. Thanks!
Best video explaining the dynamics of why you’re experiencing the symptoms
seems expensive i'll just ignore it
😂
I'm just glad I saw this before I ordered both cv axles and hubs when all I need is the axles... Thanks for the info!
I just left my car with a mechanic for 6 hours who said my car is fine even though my car has been making this noise for months. I knew he was wrong.
Great simple video explaining the clicking sound due to the CV joint. Kudos.👏
Great video. I'm hunting down a noise at the moment, and video and explanation helped me rule it out. Your expertise is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for verifying! I had replaced the front shocks and still heard the noise. I was thinking probably axle. And yep, because I hear the sound when I’m turning mainly at low velocities like going into a driveway or when I’m turning the wheels to park in reverse.

What does it mean when it constantly makes that noise without turning
Great vid! Showing the clicking noises helped me pinpoint my problem. Also, thanks for removing the boot and cleaning the grease away so that we could see exactly how this happens. Sub'd.
Good explanation. I just heard this noise while pulling out quickly with traffic. With the wheel turned left and hard accelerating I hear it..
That’s a real pop! I have a 2016 Scion tC and it’s more of a high pitched clink when I turn my wheel a solid rotation rather than a popping noise like in the video...
Check your shocks/struts....and your sway bar links.
I had a car that had that noise. I felt the front of the car drop down. The next day I drove the car those balls rolled from under the tire. I took the used cv parts to auto zone in 3 pieces the guy looked at me and said if you was driving that car like that your lucky to be alive.
Great video. Very thorough explanation without too much technical jargon, easy to understand. Thanks.
Thank you. I suspected was the axle but you showing the sound helped.
Great video and good information. But if you keep driving on bad cv joints what's the ultimate outcome?
i did some research and it says your car will eventually stop moving.
I suspect a cv axle is bad in my car but it does it while going straight in addition to all the other symptoms you named
me too
Hey folks! I've gotten some comments that the audio of the noise isn't all that great in the above video....So, I made another. It's a short one that only goes over the audio. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/sNuEUwOq4k0/видео.html
Most useful video I've watched!!
Glad it was helpful!
Out Freaking Standing and is just what's going on with my 05 Scion XA ! Thanks
TRAMENDUS!
Mine sounds like that when turning leftt or right. ALSO the car vibrates whenever I turn my ac on
Very clear explanation of the noise root cause, love it!
Thank you this really helped me learn how to diagnose this issue better
I remember hitting a bump/potholes with a focus and I left part of the ball joint at a intersection in San Antonio lol. It was slinging grease all over my rims. My rav4 is making a loud thunk popping and rattling on certain roads turns and accelerating.
Thank you for this educational short video
My pleasure
So mine produce a loud clunk when I back up from the parking spot (turning big angle). Especially when it is cold outside
Really helpful! I appreciate it man ! Changing mine this weekend !
When you replaced the joint, did it fix the problem?
I was told my boot was torn but I didn’t think anything of it now after 5 months 😵💫 (I know) I’m hearing clicking for 2 days from passenger side . I’ve seen online that my car could stop driving or moving . I’ve ordered the part but now I’m nervous to drive anywhere . Should I be concerned after only two days of the sound?
Appreciated, helped diagnose the issue with my Skoda. 👍🏻
Great to hear!
I usually hear popping sounds on my car when it is raining or when I pass through water.
Yup, that's the sound! Thanks man
I enjoyed watching. I did notice grinding noise when turning and the wheel looks slanted and has a little play I think it’s the bearing. But could also be a bad cv axle. I appreciate your time.
Not sure. You may have to have a tech look at it.
I was stuck in deep sand in my FWD 4 cylinder van last month. Trying to get out I heard a few loud pops.

Great!
Double Thumps up👍👍
This was very helpful and in depth. Thank you! New subscriber for sure.
My civic sounds exactly like this! Will need to get it checked out 🙏
I have a slight click coming from the front end but my axels are on the rear. It only does it when i turn my wheel to the left and reversing. It drives me nuts

the front rotors shakes when braking from high speed like 60 above. Does a bad rotors will cause turning noise or acceleration vibration? Thanks
It's that the driveshafts problem?
Is it more common for the front or rear to wear out on an all wheel drive Jeep? Im getting that clunking but its really hard to tell which ones its coming from.
Have the same exactly noise in My mercedes c250 2012 and I bring it to machine the told me it's differential I don't know what should I do 😔
Nothing wrong with getting a second opinion.
This did help me, thank you very much. God bless you.
Glad it helped
My UK Fiesta just started making this noise. Hopefully, I can get it repaired at a decent price, now that I know what the cause may be.
Thanks for the video 👍.
Thank you for this great video. When I turn right I’m hearing this noise so not sure if it’s my left or right CV axel . What do you think ?
Great video with details! My Subaru Forester was making similar noises when turning at slow speeds. My mechanic said the axle needs to be replaced. My car was lifted 2" so I'm wondering if that could have caused the damage like this too?
It's possible. But I'm not a 100% on that. I see a lot of vehicles with 2" lifts and it doesn't hurt the vehicle a bit.
Yep that's what I got on my Dodge Dakota right now among the Humming from Wheel Bearrings and when I jack up I put my hand 9-3 and can wiggle the tire so outer tie rod is done. I have to do it all???
My fusion does this as I’m typing this, I’m about to replace both axles and the control arms ect
Ok, I have a question. You said the noise is during acceleration. I have the opposite, same noise in this video but it's loud when there's not much or no load. When I'm downshifting / engine braking no noise and acceleration no noise. Note new bearings on driven wheels and new rotors and pads all the way around 90s acura cl

Great 😃👍 👌💪 informative video brother 👌 thanks you have a new subscriber 😁
Thanks for the sub!
your videos are great and down to the point THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like them!
Thanks man really needed this
No problem
This is actually really helpful thanks mate
So can I replace just the outer joint or I have to replace the entire axle?
A lot of times its less hassle and not a lot more expensive to replace the whole thing. Just the outer joint however are available for a lot of vehicles out there.
Can this noise happen going straight going over 70mph? Truck just started to make loud banging sound only over 70-75.
What if you've replaced it and it's still making the exact same noise but a little quieter
What sound would you hear if the inner joint failed? Vibrations???
Yes, "typically" inner joints behave a little differently. Normally they don't cause noise when they fail. Usually a vibration is a symptom of a bad inner joint. It may cause a clunk type noise but I've not seen them make noises like an outer joint.
When you go into gear and try to move will this make a terrible noice also will it case it to not move
What could it be if the noise is between 20 and 40 kmph? It started at the right back wheel and now is on the drivers front side...And usually happens on a slight turns..lets say 2nd exit in the roundabout..It is a hybrid automatic 2014
Hey so my boot broke and it makes that noise not that much do you think I can just put a new boot or should I re place the whole cv axle
Extremely helpful . I Don’t have to watch anything else
Excellent vid best one for cv joints clicking by far. One of my passenger side cv boots had split, i ignores it and it lead to getting a new driveshaft.

Thanks for reply
Hay thank u but I have a question can it make kinda like sound like a old train on highway speeds????? Thanks for alsum video
Thank you this helped me so much...
My issue is I replaced both sides and still heat knocking. I’m sure I pushed the axle in all the way.
The video was very helpful and thank you a lot

Will this cause all my brake lights and abs lights to come on?
Thank you so much ✨
You’re welcome 😊
My car makes like a cklicking noise when coasting is that this coming from front end
Thanks for sharing.
What does it cost to swap them out?
Great video! Very informative.
My orthopedist is a car guy. When I told him my knee popped like a bad CV joint he knew exactly what I was talking about.
I re-did my outer boots and added OEM Honda grease and after a few weeks click started, before it wasn’t there only torn boots, my guess is too much grease leaked out and joint got worn or I didn’t put enough grease but I used all that came with kit 😳

Thank you so much for this video 🙏
Any reason my car only makes this sound when letting off the gas or rolling in neutral?
What else should I change along with the cv joints
A lot of times the answer to that question is vehicle specific. Some manufacturers recommend new axle seal and nut with axle replacement. I'd strongly suggest getting a reputable manual and following the manuals recommendations.
I only here a pop sound when I downshift. Could it be my axles or just my exhaust popping?
