The beauty of the damaged CV axle is that it is very easy to change.

[@motorcarnut]

Most vehicles anyway

[@austinhernandez2716]

I just replaced mine. Getting the axle nut off took hours. I went and got a 2ft long 1/2" breaker bar and it finally worked. This is after torching it for 5 minutes straight too. That was the only hard thing to figure out, the rest was pretty easy. Also nowadays it's best just to replace the whole axle, no good reason not to.

[@motorcarnut]

I agree on replacing the whole axle. And never hit the axle with a hammer can damage the axle itself and the wheel bearing.

[@da324]

I had the same problem with axle nuts. The best trick I ever learned was to heat the axle up nice and hot, then rub a candle around the hot axle close to the axle nut. The heat will melt the wax and draw it into the nut threads. Really stubborn ones may need two applications, but if the car is clean, once does it.

[@motorcarnut]

@da324 it’s not the candle wax it’s the heat that does it. That wax burns off and does nothing

[@da324]

@@motorcarnut Hmm, I can literally see the liquid wax being pulled into the nut. And, I've had more than one axle nut that wouldn't come off with heat, but popped right off when wax was used.

My escape has 202k on it and the drivers side cv axle was doing this but it didn’t have a torn boot. I replaced it and took the old one apart and the grease had liquefied so I assume that’s why mine went bad.

[@motorcarnut]

That’s normal it probably just worn out from the mileage. Nothing lasts forever

[@g37x5]

What about the grinding when turning wheel at low speeds and squeaking constant over bumps?

[@motorcarnut]

That can be anything in the front end really, steering, suspension axles etc.

Maybe you caught the leak of grease too late

[@TopdogGameboy]

Would it make a click noise while going straight my van does but it seems to be at low speeds. And it doesn't seem to be with the speed of the tire either

Can be a steering or suspension part worn

Either bad axle or not related to the noise you hear

Could be something in the steering, suspension or a wheel bearing problem.

Mine even does it when I go straight, it does it going over even the smallest dip or rise in road and it actually does it less when turning idk what it is

[@motorcarnut]

Can be anything in the front end that is worn like steering or suspension parts also can still the the axles

[@isaackolade6296]

Greetings. I have a 2008 Toyota Yaris and noticed anytime I attempt to fully turn the wheel at a u-turn or parking lot, there's a dragging (not clicking, not knocking) feeling to it and it only stops when I straighten up the wheel. This doesn't happen when slightly turning left or right but only on a full turn. The mechanic has visually inspected the joints underneath and said there wasn't any problems, he tightened the suspension but no difference. Please what can I do next? I feel something else could get damaged if I continue driving like this

[@motorcarnut]

One axle may still be binding in tight turns. Even though it looks fine.

That can be anything with play like steering, suspension even an out of balance wheel can do that. If the axle is bad enough it can do that as well.

@motorcarnut quick question I have a Chevy Malibu 2017 when I turn my wheel right not sure if more so left it makes a creaking noise sometimes loud it comes and goes will that be the axle? Replace both? Do you know how much that normally cost for repairs if I supply the parts?

[@motorcarnut]

Got to make sure it’s not something in the steering or suspension first but yes the axles can cause that problem as well, good to check both rubber boots to see if you see and rips or grease coming out. About $150.00 labor for both.

I have a golf 6 gti where i changed right cv axel, both spring(one was broke), suspensions flange and some bushes. I still have a sound when i turn left and its more noticeble when im on bumpy roads. Any advice?

[@motorcarnut]

Hard to know without hearing what you're talking about, sure it isn't coming from the left side? Could be s brake shield? Or the worse would be the output shaft on the transmission. But if it happens over bumps it's probably something hitting in the suspension somewhere.

[@Quis85]

I'm pissed because this use to be a cheap fix. I need two CV's! I was all excited to get them fixed this weekend only to have to put it off for a while. Thank goodness i have two vehicles. 500. Job is now 1150 😡🤬😡🤬😡. I showed them the receipt from a couple of years ago. Labor prices, etc have changed. I usually fix once and never have issues again. Twice I've had to get same part replace. Ac compressor on my cadillac went bad. Got that replaced it was still on warranty! Now my CVS was done two years ago so I have to come out of pocket for that 😢😢😢😢.

[@motorcarnut]

$1150 is too much to replace 2 axles shop around or do it yourself not that hard if you work on vehicles

[@austinhernandez2716]

Well that's why you do it yourself! I did. It only costed $30 for tools, for the long breaker bar I needed. I already had all the other tools. But that's way too much for that. This is an easy job if you got the right tools. You're being scammed. This is why I try to do all the labor myself whenever possible.

[@Quis85]

@Motorcarnut I've thought about doing it myself. But I don't have what I need to do it. I'll shop around first before rent tools needed to do it myself.

[@Quis85]

So im gonna lower my car by half an inch hoping it would make the noise go away. And its only when im still and about to turn making a left or right.

In other words turning the wheel sharply left and right while going down the road. The noise happens when turning both left and right as well. I'm hoping its an inner tie rod out of wack, since the tie rods don't look great either. Any advice?

Can very well be the tie rods. If you can get a crowbar in the joints while the truck is on the ground see if you can see excessive movement from any parts of the steering, if so tht would be the culprit.

Is this expensive to fix or change?

[@motorcarnut]

If it’s the axles depends on who does it. DIY and save money.

[@EngineeringLife0]

Hey. I’m having this exact noise in my car when turning the wheel. But I’m also noticing my steering wheel is pulling me to the left now, and my steering wheel also has a lot of play / is loose. It seems dangerous to drive at high speeds. Could these be related?

[@motorcarnut]

Very possible, I would have it checked out immediately because a ball joint or any part of the suspension or steering can just become loose and fall off.

[@EngineeringLife0]

@@motorcarnut thank you so much. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@motorcarnut]

No problem, good luck!

[@evelynnveleni]

Can I change the CV axle boot with an aftermarket CV axle kit? Or does the axle food and the kit have to be the same making model?

[@motorcarnut]

As long as it’s for you particular vehicle than it’s fine.

[@JasonLongstreet]

How much is it to change

[@motorcarnut]

$75 to $250

[@Archfiend90210]

I hear one click when fully turning the wheel, either left or right turn.

[@motorcarnut]

Still can be the axle or something in steering.

[@Archfiend90210]

@Motorcarnut I recently tightened down the sway bar brackets and changed the sway bar links in my car. That's when this stuff started happening. Maybe I frigged some of that up and that's why?

[@motorcarnut]

@Archfiend90210 possibly? It’s in that area so shouldn’t be too hard to find it

[@idaolea8172]

just replace cv axle, and stop wanking. buying cheap one usaly only last 3 month, ( soft metall ) high quality last 300 000 miles.

[@motorcarnut]

Always a good idea to but OEM parts, I agree

[@charlesalready]

Mine seems like the "clicking" worsens when I put it in 4 wheel drive...

[@motorcarnut]

Can be the transfer case

[@charlesalready]

@Motorcarnut gosh I hope not...gonna replace the CV / shaft anyways (next payday lol) and report back what I find

[@motorcarnut]

@charlesalready Me too, but it’s gets worse with 4wd engaged, I’d think it would be less with it engaged.

[@adictiveadictive]

Mine clicks on sharp left and right turns but no grease. Still axles?

[@motorcarnut]

Most likely yes.

[@adictiveadictive]

@Motorcarnut It doesn't vibrate like my primary car did, which got bad going from vibrating at high speeds (55-65) to low speeds (35-45mph) eventually and gradually. Replaced drivers side cv axle and all is good. On my old car (07 Saturn Ion-2 2.2) it's just a slight click/faint thump. No vibration at all. Think I should replace them or I got a while?

[@motorcarnut]

@adictiveadictive you should be good for a while just keep an eye on them and I wouldn’t go on any long trips before changing them.

[@johndeloach503]

2010 jeep grand Cherokee limited replaced both cv axles and still getting some clicking every now and then, drives great no grinding

[@nameunavailable9455]

Mines a small clicking noise will it still be that?

[@motorcarnut]

Yes, it can be just starting.

[@LAtourX323]

What if it clicks when you change the gears from R to D??

[@motorcarnut]

Could be a bad engine mount.

[@williammoles3987]

engine mount? ha yeah right, U-joints most likely

[@motorcarnut]

Could be that too. Don’t have the vehicle in front of me to tell them exactly what’s the problem.

[@groutness9052]

Mine clicks coasting or going dwn hill ant 30mph is this cv joint

[@motorcarnut]

Usually no when going straight, but if severely worn they could.

[@LK-ou4be]

Same noise but no leak, what is it for me?

[@motorcarnut]

Can still be the axles but also check suspension and steering for play.

[@cbjueueiwyru7472]

I like the lart where he showed us the clicking noise

[@motorcarnut]

You can’t figure out by the video?

[@anthonynatal7560]

What if it is just on pop when I run left

[@motorcarnut]

Still can be axle

[@videos-for-friends]

About to replace my hubs and axles… ugh.

[@motorcarnut]

I know it’s not the best work to do but necessary.

[@videos-for-friends]

@@motorcarnut very true, I honestly need to replace my entire front suspension… but this is a good start. In total I plan on replacing the hubs, axles, upper and lower control arms, pittman arm, swar bar links, and shocks.

[@motorcarnut]

@videos-for-friends The the front end will be nice and tight! And should last a long time after all that work.

[@janaya36]

About how much does Honda charge to replace this? 😢

[@janaya36]

My car makes a very loud ticking noise during a sharp turn and u turn on the driver side. Is there something specific that causes this?

[@motorcarnut]

Yes, probably the front cv Joint axle is failing.

[@motorcarnut]

You would have to ask them, depends on their hourly rate. Dealers are more expensive than indys but should be no more than $200 per axle.

[@janaya36]

@@motorcarnut $200 an hour? Oh god lol I’m gonna try to find a mechanic. I know Honda is gonna kill my pockets smh. I’m just concerned it isn’t gonna be done correctly if I don’t go to Honda 🥴

[@motorcarnut]

@janaya36 that’s why I said try an independent shop, it’s an axle not too hard to do, you can watch some of my videos on axle removal and do it yourself if you’re handy.

[@Shade_Tree_Mechanic]

Excellent video man

[@motorcarnut]

Thanks you! Really appreciate the comment!

[@theycallmeherbie]

So I had no clicking, more of a clunk. Swapped CV axles, now I hear a low click sound but only when steering wheel is turned, also had all my tie rod ends replaced as well.

[@motorcarnut]

Was the cvjoint new , used ir re manufactured?

[@martarz7233]

Clicking noise ?? Mines does a loud bang everytime i make a u-turn and hit the gas..

[@motorcarnut]

Can be a lot of things including the transmission, should have it checked soon.

[@martarz7233]

@@motorcarnut the sound comes from the left side of my front wheel.. i can hear it clearly

[@motorcarnut]

Maybe the wheel bearing

[@randychris5031]

I have bad Cv joint but no fluid comes out it has been clicking for more than five moths now when I do turns. Today, while on the highway 🛣️ the both front wheels 🛞 behaved as if they are going to ripped apart when I slow dow everything became normal. So, I realised it’s time to change it straight away I can’t afford to take risk anymore.

[@motorcarnut]

Definitely, you’ll end up getting stuck and can be unsafe as well.

[@EmpireEmperor511]

Did it solve the issue? My front wheels make clicking noises when turning much like a punctured tire would

[@OklahomaDNA]

Click or pop there is a difference

[@motorcarnut]

Clicking

[@ronniecompton-eq8pm]

Thanks bro, what about coming to a stop and hearing grinding sound? Or clicking going str8 but only going slow???

[@motorcarnut]

Thank you! Can be something with the braking system or still be a bad axle.

[@devinnorsworthy9154]

Sounds like a wheel bearing.
