Best Answer

A bad inner CV joint will make a clicking noise when making sharper turns on the outside wheel. The clicking noise is from the ball bearing inside of the joint being loose and rattling around inside the race. I recommend getting it replaced ASAP due to the fact that if it fails it will wreak havoc and you could possible lock up the wheel it is bad on and force you to a halting stop or even worse, causing you to lose control and crash. It is always a better bet to be safer than sorry.
