Noisy Axle...
OK, I wasn't sure where to post this, because its not really engine, and its not really suspension.
Ok here's the problem. When I turn left (fairly sharply) [and only left] I hear clacking from the passenger side of the car, but this noise goes away after I have driven the car for a while. My best guess is bad CV joint.

My CV boots cracked and the joints spun all their grease out. I just had to have then cleaned out, repacked with grease and then rebooted. Simple fix.

When i am turning into a parking spot, going rather slow (bout 2-3 mph) i can hear a "click-click" coming from the front somewhere.
Would this be an indication of a worn CV joint or bearing or brake problem?  monkeys like me dont know much =)
