My 94 Grand Cherokee Limited is in the shop right now for a gas leak, and a broke CV axle. They estimated @ 400 for the CV axle if I dexcide to do it. The shop actually said if I am not 4x4ing, the Jeep would go another 10 years without fixing it, it will just make the noises, but otherwise is ok not to fix????

∙ 11y agoIn most CV axle failures, the outer CV joint usually dries out and breaks, often at the cage. this then disconnects from the wheel. A ripped CV boot speeds up the process by allowing dirt and water to enter the joint.

Why does a cv joint make a clicking noise after being damaged?
Inside the joint are large ball bearings that give the shaft flexiblility. Either the needle bearings inside of each ball are damaged or the ball itself is. In either case, the ball will not ride smooth in the hub and cause a clicking. A clicking axle can be run for a while, but it will at some point break or come apart. It should be change as soon as possible.

What is the clicking sound that starts when the truck starts moving?
The first and easiest answer is to remove the wheel covers and listen again for the clicking noise. It could be a pebble loose inside a wheel cover or a tire valve stem clicking against the wheel cover. If it's not that easy, and your truck has CV joints, I would suspect a bad CV joint. Look for a torn CV boot.
