hey guys - been noticing lately when I turn right or left as the car is moving I hear this clicking sound -

anyone have any ideas what this could be ?

 

Check your cv boot probably needs to be replaced

 

^^ word

one or both of your cv boots on a side are torn and completely void of grease

replace the entire axle asap, dude

 

Meh, i've been riding on a torn boot with my 1992 civic for over a year an a half, and 2 canadian winters, it never clicked, but when it started making noise... omg, loudest screach and clanks you will ever hear! hahaha.

As the other guys said, its best to replace the whole axle if the boot is ripped. You can get a rebuilt axle for 60$...

 

lol I've ridden on both busted front axles on my cb7 for over 3 years lowered and never replaced them or had them click. It really all depends on your driving and weather conditions. moist/salty road conditions will accelerate boot tearing and drying out the internal cv joints. But once they get clicking it's best to handle that asap, as you don't want them seizing on you...and I've heard stories where the axle actually separated at the exposed joint

 

definitely CV boots

 

holly shit really - I just drove to south jersey and back yesterday with this problem. what could have happend ?

Plus the ABS light is on - so this is def. a cv joint problem ? - I should replace the whole front axle ?

is this a good buy ? http://www.am-autoparts.com/Acura/CL...tm_content=ACV

 

Cv axle!

 

Yup, i just got my drivers side cv boot replaced. I noticed it was torn this past weekend while changing the oil. Got it fixed before it started clicking.

 

how much money did it run you ? -

 

also my ABS light is on ... was yours on ?

 

^ when your mechanic replaced it he could have damaged the wheel speed sensor,maybe it's not sitting right, or if you JUST got it done, the abs might just need to reset..in that case- keep driving.

 

ABS sensor works by "watching" fins of your cv axle, right near the brake caliper, quite possible your cv axle is vibrating/moving which would confuse the sensor cause the light to go on. Also I agree with everyone here, this sound is caused by the cv axle. Get it replaced and be sure to check you abs sensor to see if it has been damaged
