Cv Axle Clicking When Braking. Causes of bad cv axle. The noise is fairly loud, especially when the car is making a sharp or fast turn.
The click is not a constant click, just a one off click each time. If undamaged, these joints can last up to 100,000 miles. This clicking noise is caused by a loose cv joint in a worn down axle.
One of the best ways to listen for the clicking noise is in reverse, turning around in a circle.

This example shows what the cv joint, and axle together, looks like for the drivers side. Detroit axle, front cv axle drive shafts pair assembly.
