click click click click click click AAAAHHH!!!

alright guys, my car is making this clicking sound...all the damn time! i was hoping it was a rock or something in my treading...but i was wrong. it isnt while im turning...well, it is, but its while im driving strait too...it gets faster as i go faster, and i cant really hear it until im going about 20-25mph.

cv joint? wheel bearing? whatta ya think? and how much would something like that cost me?

and how hard is it to replace an axle..or both?

Not very. My record time, for the passenger side axle on a crx, was 13 minutes and 40 seconds from start to finish (including taking the tire off and putting it back on, etc.)

A more typical time is about 1.5 hours per side, up to 3 hours if you encounter very sticky bolts or break a tool.

you da man!!! need to have a mechanics olympics..... :D

you could have the driveshaft falling out, check the bolts and stuff underneath on the A-arms, and the tie rods.

Damn that is way better then my time. Mine was 45 mins. But I had a stuck bolt lol.

Let's not bring it to conclusion on the drive shaft right away. It could be something simple before you spend a large amount of money.

threethirteen--Did you change anything on your wheels recently? Break pads? Rims? perhaps worn wheel bearing?

It could just be a simple bump or dent on the back of the rim that does not clear the clearance on your suspension.

Put the car on the lift and turn the wheel that is making the clicking noise to see where is the noise coming from, that should solve a lot of mystery.

havent changed anything. but i was going to get it on a lift tomorrow if i get the time.

thanks

i work at mechanic shop, i looked at this ladys car for 20 minutes couldn't find anyhitng i could get it to make the click every time, finally i broke down and tore the brakes apart and found the inside pad was worn real uneven and the squeeler was barely touching, every once in a while, so check your breaks real good !!!

cv joints, this happened on my friends integra. whenever he was driving it would make this clicking noise, the faster you go the faster the noise. then we took it in to our auto shop and checked it out and found that it was the cv joint. this is not the only thing that makes the noise but hope that helps.
