My car make a clicking/ticking noise when I turn could this be a bad CV joint?
Yes if your car is front wheel drive. The joints in the boot begin to wear out over time especially in the summer time and begins to click or pop when turning.

Hello Goldwinger.
Yes it could be an axle, It could also be the strut tower The strut bearing is on top of your strut and could be a problem I have seen it before and also the Axle do that, I don't think it would be the steering rack because I think it would do that either way you turn the steering wheel. I would stick with your first thought. Axle, sure sounds like an axle, The Clicking is usually the First indication of that. So I would take it out and check it or just replace it and I think that will solve your problem. If not get back to me and when I get in from the Shop I will check back here and see if you got it or not. Thanks Goldwinger and hope that helps you out some what. Bear001
SOURCE: Car Rumbles, CV Joint?
no you cant grease a cv joint, it is a sealed unit and comes pre greased! when you turn sharp at slow speeds does it sound like rocks rolling around in a coffee ca? then its a cv axle! also check large boots at both end of each axle. if the boot is torn the cv axle is either bad or will need replaced very soon! yes a back yard mech can replace easily but you will need a front end alignment when you are done! hints for replaceing! pop axle out with a pry bar at trasmission., to put back it use old end nut only 1/4 of the way on and hit with a hammer to seat lock ring then check at tranny to make sure it is seate! hope this helps

You more than Likely have a Small leak in the Pan on the Bottom of the Tranny. as for the Noise in the Front, It sounds a LOT like the Wheel Bearings. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

Much easier to change the whole half shaft, and, after you exchange the old ones, not a great deal more costly... and, yes, that is what's wrong.

The reason I think it is the cv joint is because my mom had the same problem with her suburban a few years ago and it was the same noise. you cant hear it when you are sitting in side the car only if the window is open
