Default Now I have this click noise in the front end

Its just a quick click/pop noise that I get once and awhile. I cant get it to repeat when I want it to but it seems to happen when weight shifts. I replaced the front driverside outer CV boot when I replaced the control arms and shocks and springs. I'm wondering if pounding the CV joint back on could have messed up the inner or outer CV joint. Although I dont really know what a clicking cv joint sounds like, is it constant or just once and awhile?

Default It's your cv joints.. make sharp turns, left then sharp right..

you should here the pop and click while mid turn. Should start to make its self more known witn louder and longer noises soon. Just watch for inner tire wear. I had a tire blow out on my old 90cs from a bad cv.

Cheers,
Joel
