Clicking in the front

[AGD202]

When im stopping, going, or turning I hear a click coming from the front. More of a loud pop. What the deal is?

My guess = axles are shot

i agree. that and/or bent subframe... cuz i got in an accident a while back which messed up my subframe and axle and had a clicking noise, it sucked ass.

replace axles immediately... keep an eye on those cv boots...

sweet thanks thats kind of what I was thinking. I found some on yoparts for $180 for both. Good deal or no? Its the only stock ones they carry in the OEM section. Or anybody have reccomendations for some good ones. Im not looking for super strong 1000hp ones because the d16 makes no power.....

if its a continuous clickin its probably axles but if its just a single loud pop.. like stated above.. could be ball joints.. just fyi

id check the ball joints first, and as for cv axels, replace that immediatly!!! dont want your wheels to break and rip off!! (worst case cenario)

check and see if your cv boots are torn.. if they are, it's probably the joints.

I'll get under there tonight and check the boots out and order axles tomorrow. Should the cv boots be removed once in a while and grease the joints or no? Also I have been looking for grease points for a while not in other places. Anybody know if they exist?

also I just put new upper control arms on my car a couple months ago so it shouldn't be the ball joint unless it was bad. It was Skunk2 camber kit.

from wut i hear skunk2 ball joint boots are notorious for cracking prematurely (just word of mouth tho) but i was talking about the lower ball joints not the uppers. but is it constantly clicking when you turn or a single popping.. important detail. no need to replace something that isnt broken

Its just one pop as I'm turning the wheel. I have heard about the skunk2 boots drying out and cracking also.
