Probably a bad CV joint on one of your drive axles to the front wheels. You have two drive axles coming out of the transaxle, one to each front wheel, and both have an inner CV joint where they enter the transaxle, and an outer CV joint where the axles fit into the wheel hub. (A CV joint is really like the old U-joints, serving the same purpose.) A clicking noise on turning is usually a badly worn outer CV joint. The cheapest fix is to buy a remanufactured half-shaft for your car. That is the axle shaft with both CV joints at each end inspected and reconditioned with new grease and CV boots installed. You need to know which side is bad before buying. The half-shaft is sold ready to install. Someone with good mechanical skills will need to remove the old one and replace it with the new reconditioned axle shaft, or half shaft as they are also called. The last time I bought one (about two years ago) the cost was reasonable- about $65.00. That is less than the cost of one new CV joint.
Hope this helps you out.

The seal around the CV shaft where it enters the tranny sounds like it needs replacing.You have to pop out the CV shaft to replace the seal.Its not a difficult job if you're handy. Good luck.

Sounds like your half shafts are going bad. Does it make this noise when turning left or right? If it does your half shafts have gone bad.

I quote from service manual

1 . Raise and support the truck. Remove the rear wheels, the brake drum or brake caliper and rotor. If this is a disc brake, support caliper with wire. Remove seal retainer nuts from axle
housing.

2 . Pull out the axle shaft from housing. Remove the snap ring and bearing race from the axle shaft. Cut the bearing retainer. Break the bearing cage using a hammer and chisel and remove cage and rollers.

3 . Remove the oil seal, the seal retainer and the parking brake assembly (rear). Using a hydraulic press and bearing splitter, press the inner race from axle shaft. Inspect axle shaft for seal wear. Ensure that the shaft is not bent.

It sounds like your CV shafts need to be replaced. You don't have to replace both sides unless they are both definatelty in need of replacement. It is recomended that they be replaced at the same time but do what you can afford. Also, if you don't feel comfortable with the advice you are getting from Walmart, you should probably find a mechanic that you trust.

Temporarily because **** from the road is going to get into the transmission because that shaft provide the sealing off of the internal chambers of the transmision.
