I've finally figured out what the noise is when i turn the wheel; its the outer cv joint.
this site explains it perfectly:
Continues "clicking" sounds on sharp turns usually indicates a worn outer joint.
Usually the sound is loudest on the joint opposite of the turning direction.

i wanted to know how much it will cost to replace/fix the joint.
i wont be doing the work myself so i'm assuming labor is the biggest cost.
also would it be better to buy the parts online and bring it to a mechanic to install or have him get the parts?
thanx

 

160 w/ labor.

 

It's going to cost you the same either you buy your parts and bring it to the guy to do or just go to him "empty-handed".

here's a great write-up on how to do this yourself. I was going to do this on my mazda 626, and the boots cost me i think $12 a piece but I ended up bringing it to my mechanic for help because I couldn't get that huge bolt in the center loose. If you go to a mechanic its around $150.

Where in Brooklyn are you?

 

i'm in sheepshead
can you post a link to the write up?

 

I replaced the with a friend.. its not hard... $60 total.
