I have a clicking/rubbing sound coming from my front drivers wheel area. It seems to have gotten worse lately. At first I only noticed it when I turned the wheel all the way to the left (U-turn). Now I notice it with any slight turn of the wheel to the left, and even going straight sometimes. It get louder hte more the wheel is turned, and is more frequent at higher speeds (closer clicks). It happens every time I turn the wheel.
I would guess CV joint, but I am not very knowledgeable with suspension parts/troubleshooting. Any help? |

If you just order piece by piece its going to be hard as hell to install. When you can order the whole axle assembly and install it as is, thats if your seal is still good. If not you'll have to go to napa to get the seal. When you order the assembly its ready to be installed, nothing else.
Oh btw, if there is an Auto Zone there go there. The driver side axle was 130 and I returned my busted one and got 30 back. You also get a life time warrenty on ther part. This post has been edited by bccentaur3: Apr 9, 2007 - 11:03 PM -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
