noise after axle install

this was about a month ago when I put in my raxles. I went with them because of all the positive things I read about them. anyway, at times I have to really turn my wheels to get into a tight parkign spot. I don't know if it's clicking or creaking, but the sound only occurs about a turn before the bumpstops. What suspension part is making that noise? I highly doubt its the axles, since it's raxles, but just wanted to make sure.

Check to make sure all the suspension bolts are tight tight. I tightened the two lower strut housing bolts and my clicking went away. If it's more of a squishy/rubbery/creaking sound, it might be your strut mount insulator. I know mine need to be replaced.

What's a raxle?

I had a horrible sound from my front suspension. I had creaking and clunking. I replaced an axle with little or no effect. I tightened my hub nut to 200 lbs and the noise went away. It was only off by a tiny amount but it made the difference.

I still get other creaks from the suspension. I'll have to try tightening everything in the spring when I replace my struts.
