A Clicking or grinding noise coming from the front end. The best way to test your CV joints is to drive backwards in a tight circle (wheel completely cranked) you should be able to tell which side the noise is coming from if it is bad.
clicking when turning.
Yes it does if the car is moving. Because the CV joint is part of the axil if the car is moving the bad CV joint will be moving too. or No it will not make noise if the car is in neutral and the car is not moving.
Bad CV joint.
Sounds like a bad CV joint. On most cars, it is often more economical to replace the complete axle shaft on that side that has a bad cv joint. Hope this helps. Good-luck!
The CV joint boot is bad, and needs to be replaced.
Snapping and cracking noises especially under acceleration and while turning.
A clicking sound either when you are driving or when you make a turn. The Clicking sound will come from the outside wheel during turns, such as if you turn left the right cv will generally make the noise.
CV (Constant-Velocity) joint
I think you mean axle shaft joint. The usual symptom of a bad axle shaft joint is a crunching noise when turning corners.
CV joints will make a clicking sound when you take sharp turns, the clicking noise will come from the outside wheel during the turn. Hence if you make a right hand turn the left CV will "CLICK" and vice versa. A u-joint you should feel just as much as you hear. If you have a FWD you most likely do not have a U-Joint, but if you have a AWD,FWD or RWD you will have a u-joint.
very possible a bad cv joint .
