terrible clicking noise

It began last night. On almost any kind of left turn I'm getting a clicking noise. I think its my CV joint, anyone else had this problem? I think its getting worse.

I'll have to put my cat back on for the dealership i guess...

And this morning I wake up and my tire was flat... bigass screw lodged in the front right tire...

and the spare donut the dealership gave me was a 5 lug instead of a 4...

What a good day

Yeah, that's going on with mine too. Let me know how much it costs for the repair or replacement.

If there was a screw in the tire the clicking noise was the screw hitting the road.

^--exactly. Get the flat fixed and then check to see if the clicking is there still. One time my mom got a 1/2inch trailer hitch pin stuck in her rear tire (don't ask how because at the tire shop everyone was like wtf it looks like a metal cigar with no sharp ends lol). It clicked so loud and we though something on the car was broke. It even threw the tire off balance over 40mph.

I had the same problem, Thought for sure it was C/V. Turns out that it was a strut, strut mount and strut bearings.

If it is a C/V you have to replace the entire axle which is rediciously highly priced. There are repair (rebuild) kits available for about $100.00. Or you can get a proper axle shop to remanufacture yours. Nobody currently does.

it actually went away a little bit after i got the tire fixed...

but the guys at morristown tire said it was prob the c/v joint and would only be 250 to fix.

im gunna see if i can get it covered by my dealership, but they suck....

maybe i can squeeze some free service out of the poorly sized donut...




i def still hear the clicking though, its just slightly better now. I think i was hearing the problem + the screw in the tire...

time to call bell mistu...
