does your car make the clicking sound when ever you acclerate from a dead stop? its wierd. it doesnt make any noise when going over bumps. so my guess is the cv boot, or the cv joint. is this an easy job? im sure i can fix it.

the axle clicking isnt felt thru the pedal (normally) I think the source is elsewhere.

well it the noise could be from my brakes sticking slightly, but i hope not. i noticed it just after it rained here on monday.
i noticed it got faster in successions of clickings when i accelerated and such. though it might have been a one day deal. ill be listening for it more.
putting in a new axle shouldnt be that hard. get a good c-clamp or 2 to help you press in some parts since thing will need it after you press them apart.
