Cv Joint Noise When Turning Right. Loud clicking noises when turning. But it now is making the same sound going down the highway in a straight line.
The best way to tell is to jack up the car and support it on stands. This will cause the cv joint to wear faster and fail due to lack of lubrication and corrosion. Worn or damaged outer cv joints make a clunking or clicking noise, particularly while cornering.
When these joints go bad they will make a clicking noise and more so when turning right or left, or when accelerating.
If the sound is fairly loud, the wheel bearing is usually the culprit. Also when turning corners from a stop. Anyway, when i turn, with the steering wheel turned 3/4 or more one way or the other, the car makes an awful rattling/scraping/clunking noise which sounds an awful lot like a load of metal parts having a right old fight. If the sound is fairly loud, the wheel bearing is usually the culprit.
