Left front wheel issue

So every time I get on the gas or start out kinda slow (almost to the point stalling) the wheel makes a crack noise or clicking. At first it was just doing it when i got on it, now its cracking when I turn. What can this be??

replace the cv axle now or you will be buying a new front wheel bearing and probably some other things as well. thats usually the cause. i ignored one on mine and it cost me $1500 to replace! unfortunatley all done at the dealer so shop labor rate is super high....

check the boots for tears and make sure they are intact and attached well to the cv joint.

as for the bearing, jack the car up and tilt the toe of the tire in and out same with camber. if there is excessive play this means you have a bearing going.

to shoe heel toe and camber....look at the right side of the pic
