Cv Axle Clicking Noise. The noise is on driver side 100%. If any boot gets torn and leaks grease, it has to be replaced.
In addition to humming, a defective cv axle can develop any number of clicks, pops and clunks as the damage to the axle joints worsens. But, they have a 90 day warranty, so i will take it there soon. If it is a humming or whining noise it is most likely a wheel bearing.
The noise you often hear with this is a clicking noise when making a tight turn.
Old age a third way a cv joint can fail is when the rubber boot becomes old and brittle due to age and wear. If it is a humming or whining noise it is most likely a wheel bearing. Continuous knocking, while driving at low speeds, may also be due to joint damage. This accompanied by a lack of lubrication is another cause of the ‘clicking’ or ‘clucking’ noise you hear when the cv is dry and worn out.
