Clicking when I turn right

[schierholz]

So recently my car has started a new problem amoung others ,, when I turn my steering wheel to the right (makeing a turn ) it clicks and I can feel
It in the wheel , other directions not, I'm convinced it's my c/v boot which has Ben spewing greese for about a year but I would half expect it to make noise going the other direction, what do bad rack and Pinion sound like?

It's your CV joint. Replace the axle. Once the boot is torn, the axle is toast. You should have replaced that long ago.

Deev is right, replace it asap before you're stranded on the side of a road cause your driveshaft fell apart.

You can get remanned ones for less money, but I suggest you stay away from anything that's not brand new. I tried two remanned CV axles before finally going with a brand new one. The remanned ones both had issues that were not properly adressed when being rebuilt. One clicked as bad as the one I replaced, the other was unbalanced (probably bent). The new one had no issues at all.

its most likely your driver side cv axle i have had to replace it on three of the four cb7s i have had

So since its Ben clicking for about a week how long do you think I have for it I'm in the middle of a move I drive it alot so il try getting it done any manufactures to stay away from

Who's Ben?

It's impossible to say how long it will last. If the boot has been torn for a long time, it may be just about shot. It could last another year, or it could break on you tomorrow. It should be taken care of as soon as possible.

Thanks for the advice il get on it ASAP !

"how long will it last" is definately a hard question to answer. I can tell you that mine was clicking for a couple months, then I auto crossed it a whole summer, and it never gave out. However my boot was not torn, so maybe that helped a bit. Anyway, these outcomes are un-predictable.

I don't know if you have another car, if you do I recommend taking the cv shaft out and down to the parts store with you because there's always a core charge. I find it easier to make one trip rather than two.

my last cb was clicking when i first got and it lasted me 2 years lol but then i changed it

I wouldn't trust a clicking axle more then a week

He's right but only do so if your going for a remanufactured one. The new ones do not have core fees. Also keep in mind wether or not your car requires the abs or non abs axle.... Yes there is a difference.

If the axle clicks on turns, that's normal.
If it clicks in a straight line, repair it immoderately. You have only a few days.

Also, buying new will sometimes incur a core charge. Usually it's much less.

Same here.. little click on right hand turns since I bought it, boot is still good...

One year and 20k miles later and the new cv is still in my shed... If it ain't broke, I'm not gonna touch it untill I have to, rotors, bearings etc etc.. guess its how you drive.
