- If your car is making a clicking noise when you're turning and accelerating, the common cause is a CV joint. This video has great examples of a CV joint making a clicking noise when turning.

my 99’ jeep grand cherokee is making this same exact noise. had me worried but your video helped. thanks Eddie 👍
You're welcome John, let me know if I can answer any questions for you 👍
Omg I've been looking all videos to finally find the same noise that's in here in this video!!!!!!! Thank you man!
Literally what my cars going through rn didn’t have no idea what it was called thank you bro
You got it KTG, let me know if you have questions.
Your video gave me possibiities. My 2002 Avalanche makes this clicking noise but so loudly that I think people nearby can hear it. It's loud when I slowly back up, turn the wheel in either direction, or make a left or right turn. Driving with speed is quiet and smooth. I had a mechanic listen with hood up while I turned wheel left and right. To me, sound comes from driver side of engine, but he heard it on passenger side. He had no idea what it could be. I describe the noise as a roulette wheel sound. Thanks. Wish you were here.
Hi Lew, If the car is not moving and you can hear the noise when turning the steering wheel you probably have either a damaged steering rack or a ball joint that's is lacking lubrication. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for your video! My car has the same problem. Now I know what’s the problem!
Thank you again for sharing your experience 😁👍🏽
You're welcome! Glad I could help 😊
My 09 civic has been making the same exact noise and I thought it was the power steering the whole time. Thanks for this video... I’ll get my car checked out ASAP!
Awesome Brandon, let me know what they find 👍
What did they find was it the joints or rods? I got a 08 doing it for my left turns
I have an 09 civic as well. I only hear it when I’m driving into say like alleys or when I’m reversing to park in
@@WPHSBandGeek did you take it in for repair? Mine does the same that loud noise turning the wheel on reverse or at really slow speeds
I got my front lower control arms on both sides replaced and replaced a cv axel and the sound has came back. It stopped for a little but now it’s back
This is my exact issue on my 2008 Chevrolet Impala!
I literally had Belle Tire replace these parts on the passenger side that they said was worse than the driver side and the cracking coming from the passenger side was still there!
I'm going to do some testing to make sure that either the driver side now needs to be replaced as I was originally told, or if the passenger side is still bad after the $700 repair I paid for!
I now have a plan to have my CV Axle and Tie Rods redone at a completely different mechanic and Belle Tire has permanently lost my business!
Thank you for posting this video!!!!!

You're welcome 😊
Hey everyone! I have an update!
The cracking on the passenger side of my 2008 Chevrolet Impala came from me improperly torquing the bolts on the body support bar above the battery! My battery was so hard to remove that I took that bar off to replace my battery when it failed and I failed to torque the bolts properly when I reinstalled the body support bar which caused additional stress on the car body on the front passenger side!
I guesstimated the torque using a 3/8 ratcheting socket wrench and I reduced the cracking by at least 80%! One of the bolts is unfortunately too old to provide the proper torque and the body bar is a bit rusted which is why there is still some occasional cracking when I accelerate and decelerate. I'll get my local mechanic to install a new body support bar and new bolts with the proper torque!
I have a really smooth ride now, I have a plan to get my driver side CV Axle and Tie Rods replaced, and I learned the importance of using a torque wrench and placing the proper torque on bolts when performing your own car repairs!
Knowledge Is Power!!!📚💻🔧
Spent 4000$ to fix my noise and it’s still there mechanic don’t know shit CZcams it law
my dads volvo has been doing this for months and hes been denying it so thank you i can now fix it
Hi Parker 😂 I'm glad you're stepping up to the plate to help your dad, some people would rather wait until it brakes before they fix it, but this could leave them stranded on the side of the road for hours, so good for you 👍
@@EddieCarrara1 My vehicle have only been driven 24000km ( for 2 years), now there is a noise when turning . Can I claim warranty repairs ?
@@prashanhd3734 If the vehicle has only 24k miles it may still be under the manufacturer's warranty. I recommend you look in the warranty manual and see what is covered asap. Let me know what you find 👍
Thanks Eddie. You’re the man!
You're welcome Benjamin, let me know if you have any questions 🍺
omg exactly the sound my car make when i turn the steering either side! gosh ty for this video i appreciate it alot!
You're welcome Dale, let me know if I can answer any questions for you.
I had that happened to me replaced cv joints and also another part and still was doing it came to find out it was a gasket on a screw that holds the steering wheel together with the tire
Thanks you have probably pinpointed my issue with my Citroen when turning right and left from standing start .
I hope so Leon, keep me posted.
And? You've solved the problem? If so, can you explain what to do about it, I appreciate that
@@Walid. hi the click noise was my n/s cv joint replacement of the unit should do the trick, although it looks like you may have to replace the whole shaft as it's hard to get a hold of just the cc joint now ,it cost me around £170 but shop around online you can get it cheaper.
I hear the noise when I start reverse and turn I don’t hear it when I’m driving forward
Same here
Same vehicle, same problem. Thanks for making the video
You're welcome Joe 👍
So how much?

@@joeofcoursee This infinged pain upon my ass even before penetration. I drive like this :(
Thanks great informative video. Helped my diagnose my problem.. I’m dreading this repair lol
Hi Fika, Axles are not that bad to replace, usually a lower ball joint removal, turn the steering wheel to one side to give you slack and pop the inner CV joint out of the trans, don't forget to catch the transmission fluid on some vehicles.
Hi Eddie and thanks for a very informative video and for taking the time to answer our questions. I have owned a 1988 Honda Accord LX since 1997 and when I bought it, it had 130,000 miles on it. Recently it turned the dial at 200,000 so it is fairly low mileage. I was planning to replace the valve cover gasket soon because oil is leaking onto my engine and smoking quite a bit when it hits the exhaust manifold (and smelling nasty!) But just as I had nearly saved up enough money to fix THAT problem, my Honda began to make clicking noises EXACTLY like on your video and my first thought was: "CV axle." Now it appears I need to replace that, probably on the driver and passenger side, considering the car's age. :( :( Is this a common problem with Hondas? I see a number of folks posting on here that drive that make. I know when I first bought the car 24 years ago, I was told immediately by a mechanic that I needed to replace the boot. One other question!? Would a failing power steering pump make a similar noise? My reservoir needs topping off recently and the power steering belt makes a bad squealing sound for a minute after I start it. I had all belts replaced a couple years ago. THANKS for reading this long post! :)
Hi Rosy, you only drove 70 miles in 24 years lol, that's not a whole lot of driving lol. No it's not a common problem, it's just a wearable part that needs to be replaced over time, and you have certainly got your time out of it. If your mechanic warned you 24 years ago that you were going to need to replace a boot soon, that's probably the axle that is making noise. Most likely the boot ripped open years ago and is just starting to make noise. I recommend you have the axles checked first, maybe you'll only need to replace one. Keep me posted on what you find, thanks.
@@EddieCarrara1 Thanks for answering! Yeah 70,000 miles in 24 years is quite a small amount of driving for the Honda. :) I got that boot fixed back in 1997 as recommended and am now thinking it could be a power steering noise because the reservoir shows a slow leak (need to top it off every couple weeks) and the PS belt squeals for a minute or two at start-up. Anyhow, YourMechanic is sending a guy over this Thursday to replace the valve cover gasket and I will see what he thinks. Happy New Year!
@@rosybaldwin6624 The squeal is just the belt, they tend to stretch after a few hundred miles and if they are not completely taunt during installation they will start to squeak. The leak in the steering system shouldn't cause a clicking noise, maybe a moan or whine noise from the pump from the fluid being low. Let me know when they say, and if you have questions about their diagnosis I'll be right here 😊
@@EddieCarrara1 thanks. I got the driver's side front axle replaced and now no more clicks! :D
@@rosybaldwin6624 thank you for following up!
Hi, how's your aftermarket axle? are they making any vibration while accelerating? Do you have any issues with them? I'm a bit hesitant to replace mine with an aftermarket.
Hi John, it is possible to get an aftermarket axle that is damaged but we have good luck with the ones we install, you'll have different manufacturer options so try to go with a mid grade and not economy.
Sorry if this comment is long, I am trying to describe my issue as detailed as possible. Anyway, I lost control of my rear wheel drive 2008 Infiniti G35 in the rain and drifted into a curb while my wheels were turned left. After the impact, my steering wheel got a little harder to turn. I have gone and replaced almost everything in my suspension on the front right side (strut assembly, steering knuckle/spindle assembly, lower control arm, the outer tie rod, and new set of rims). My steering wheel got slightly easier to steer after that, but still gets stiff at higher speeds (of course I still need to get my wheels properly aligned). What I haven't replaced is the inner tie rod or sway bar links. I am hearing the same sound as the car in this video while making sharp turns both left and right at low speeds. Also I hear this noise when I go over bumps, as well as when i press the breaks really hard and the weight of my car transfers to the front. In any situation, the sound is coming from only the front passenger side of the vehicle. Could the source of my issue be either related to the sway bar and link or the inner tie rod? Or could it be my power steering rack, since the tie rods are connected to the rack and pinion?
*And please, don't tell me to take my car to a mechanic. I already did and paid them $105, and they only told me that my strut and lower control arm is bent, which I already was aware of. They didn't mention anything about my tie rods, sway bar links, or steering rack and pinion. Waste of money.*
When you hit the curb most likely the rack was extended on that side and probably absorbed a lot of the impact, bending the rack shaft. The sway bar links may have been damaged but they are connected by small ball joints on each end and have some give during an impact like this. The CV joint may have been damaged internally, it's usually only small C-clips that hold the CV joint to the splines, and with an impact like this, it's very possible it was damaged as well. The alignment will reveal if there's anything bent so you may want to have an alignment done first just to check for any bent parts. I hope this helps, I know some mechanics don't like to dig too deep on problems like this, they pick the easy parts to replace first and then revisit the issues, costing you more money in the long run. Keep me posted on what you find and let me know if I can answer any other questions. Good details in the post 👍
Perfect sound thanks thanks thanks
Hi Ronnicke, so I hit the nail on the head? lol 👍
They will do both front cv joints if that dont fix it then i dont know what the problem will be .
Eddie carrara i replaced the rack pinion still hear the noice also replaced the front springs still noice tomorrow
Looking it up as my Honda van is doing this…
Thanks for the info.
You're welcome.
My hyundai does a cracking sound when i turn the steering wheel completely to each side and drive. It does like crack crack crack with a metallic sound . Your sound is softer
Hi John, your CV joint may have more clearance inside the joint and have more damage, that's probably why the noise is more pronounced.
Yeah its def your cv joint OR your tie rod ends. Strangely enough i bought a new cv joint thinking mine was bad from clicking but when i replaced the tie rod it stopped clicking.....i still replaced the cv joint though. That sound is EXACTLY what i was hearing
@@EddieCarrara1 hi I have the same symptoms like John but in a Ram truck even in 2WD mode, is it the CV axle?
I have a Tacoma and it pops just one time when I make a sharp right turn. I’ve changed everything but the inner tie rod and the cv axel. Which one do you think it is?
@@yovannibaltazar825 cv axel
Great video! Thanks you. Question - what is the approx cost for replacing CV boot and / or Axle ? I have a 2013 Audi Q5
Hi Jay, it depends on if you use OEM or aftermarket parts. Labor is usually around 2 hours. Some OEM parts cost anywhere from $300 - $800. Hope this helps 🍺
Hey Eddie, thanks for the video! I finally found the noise I have been trying to describe for so long. I have the same issue except I've noticed this noise happens when I'm going at a low speed like curb side parking, while turning the wheel. It makes that rattling/clicking sound when I turn the wheel left and right. I also noticed that the noise comes when I go reverse at a slow speed while turning the steering wheel, and while on Park. Do you happen to know what might be causing this? Thank you so much!
Hi Roxana, if the car is making the noise when you're not moving and in park, and turning the steering wheel, most likely it's the steering rack. If the car is moving slowly and turning, it's most likely a CV joint. I have a comment from someone who found their aftermarket spoked rims were making the noise lol, so there are many possibilities. Can you make a video of the noise, upload it to CZcams and send me the link?
My Toyota Corolla 2014 does that same thing .. when I turn my steering wheel slowly going left or right it does that.. and I just got the car.. help?
Hey Roxana, did you found out what it was ? I have the same !!!
Thanks
@@gaetantaglialatela7590 dont u hate when people get what they want and leave... so many people could use a response from her
Same issue, are you able to find the problem?
My Renault Clio is making this noise. I thought it was the CV so going to replace that. This video helped thanks
You're welcome Luke, let me know what happens👍
2011 chevy equinox started doing this the 4th day I had it. Starts this sound when I make left turns not always, about half the time. Usually when it's going slow. Could this be the issue?
Yes Wyat, absolutely! It's most likely in the beginning stages of deterioration.
Mine began doing this on right turns and only occasionally. Knew it was an issue but wasn’t all too concerned. Just recently started doing it turning both ways and almost all the time now. Even in park. I really gotta get this figured out now
Great video
Thanks Alberto, let me know if if I can answer any questions for you 👍
3:49..... I wonder how🤣 just insert the splines and hub and bolt it back up... must have been shot from the factory... Thanks for this!
Hey Stickboy, You're welcome 😊
When you send the old part back to the manufacturer as a core they sometimes will rebuild the parts by adding some new parts to it, cleaning it up, and adding new grease. Some of the parts sent back have unseen problems and are not caught during the rebuild process and are sent back out onto the shelf in the parts stores which sucks for us doing the work, the part is warranty by who pays for the extra labor??? 🙄
Hey Eddie! Thanks so much for the informative video. I just had my CV axle replaced in my Honda Ridgeline after it was making this same kind of sound. Even after the repair, it still seems to make a similar noise every now and then, but only when turning really sharp and slow, such as when leaving a parkade. Any idea why it could still be lingering? Thanks in advance!
Hi Jackson, it's possible another CV joint is on it way out too. If you paid to have the repair done I recommend you bring it back in so they can inspect their work. Sometime new parts can be defective too. I recommend you bring the mechanic for a ride so you can point out your concern and they know exactly what noise you're talking about.
@@EddieCarrara1 Will do! Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!
On my 2008 Nissan Altima it makes a clunky noise in front of vehicle when turning steering wheel either direction even while in parked and while driving, it gets pretty loud! I've changed many parts on front of car, both brand new strut assemblies, 2 sets of brand new CV joints so 4 total, both brand new sway bar links, both brand new disk with brand new brakes and on driver side brand new bearing assembly. Noise is till there and gets loud at times. I'm frustrated what can this noise be?? It's definitely in front when turning steering wheel either direction!
Hi Rob, maybe upper strut mounts, ball joints, or steering rack. Can you take a 1 min video of the noise, upload it to CZcams and send me the link so I can hear it?
It’s very light currently. Could be the cold to hot temperature changes but maybe not. It’s borderline creaking but sort of sounds like clicking. It sounds exactly like yours.
Usually outer CV joint.
I have 2015 Honda Civic and I have this exact noise when reversing and turning my steering wheel. The noise is coming from under the car . I just got my cv axle replaced but my car makes this exact noise
Every so often . Any thoughts ??
Hi Bobby Jackie, If the mechanic used remanufactured axles it's possible one may be faulty and was not rebuilt properly. I highly recommend you bring it back to the mechanic so they can check it out. Aftermarket axles usually have a 90 day or 12 month warranty. Let me know what you decide to do, thanks.
At the beginning of the video you mentioned CV joint or CV axle so if I’m having this exact same problem, should I look into the CV joints and axles or just replace the axle itself?
It's much easier to replace the complete axle, the CV joints usually are only OEM so you'll actually save money replacing the complete axle.
Thank you your video and easy understanding you wrote it down I can talk to shop about that
That's awesome Hfame, let me know if you have any questions 😊
Hello Eddie,
My Kia Optima 2012 started doing the same noise recently. It does it when I have the car parked and sometimes off and turn the steering wheel left. When I drive the car and turn it doesn’t do the noise much. Any idea what it could be?
Hi Jose, It sounds like the noise maybe in the steering rack or suspension but it definitely is not a CV joint noise. CV joints only make noise when the vehicle is moving, and usually turning.
Wow,i was trying to figure out how to explain the noise in my 2000 jeep cherokee limited edition.. Best i could explain was when turning left it make a sound like going over speed bumps lol..But i listened and that sounds like it in the video.... So im guessing thats probably the thing hu? Many thanks,and i subscribed to your channel..Just bought the damn thing,and had a noise of scraping metal,like the brake pads were shot..Got new ones to my mechanic,and it wasnt.. When backing up,it did a click click sound..So we found out it was the drive axel..One under the drivers seat lol,and theres another one in under passengers seat in back too.Confusing these jeeps lol..
Hi Scott, noises, in general, are confusing and also misleading sometimes lol. I have a lot of noise videos on my channel you may want to check out. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you 🍺
Hey great video by the way,, i have a similar sound, it will sound the same as in the video when I would turn, when I would come to a stop, and it also did the sound when i will turn the wheel in park, bad cracking sound, I switched the sway bar link on both sides and the sound went away for like a day, the sound is still there when turning but is not as bad as it used to be, do you know what it could be? Switching the sway bars did helped alot thoe,Or can I send you a video to your email or something so you can see, any tip helps thank you.
Hi Bodoke Rivers, Usually, the lower ball joint will make a noise like that. If you could take a video of it, post it on CZcams and send me the link I will listen to it and give you may opinion.
The boots are not torn but I still hear a clicking when turning left at slower speeds but only sometimes not all the time is this the cv axle going bad?
Hi Brian, Yes, It's a good possibility that it's just starting to make noise and it will only happen under certain conditions. Eventually it will get worse so I recommend you keep an ear on it for a while👍
I have exact same noise in a Pontiac Montana SV6 on right turns only... it sounds the same as your sound, but this sound was present before and after the both CV axles were replaced, so I'm really stuck.... all the other joints feel solid, so I'm really confused what is doing it as a medium speed turns to the right only - no noise when stationary...
Hi Ping Pong, is there any way you could take a video of the noise, upload it to CZcams and send me the link?
Exactly same noise in my explorer 2022 platinum but a little less, any risks if i leave it without change the CV axial ?
Thanks in advance bro
I just purchased an 09 Dodge Nitro and I'm getting that sound when I'm turning left or right. I took it in to get looked at and they checked the suspension everything was tight and in good shape. They didn't mention anything about the CV joint, will this be an expensive fix?
Hey M. It can get expensive, an aftermarket axle is about $150 -$200 plus about 2 hours labor.
Clicking/clunking noise update, I've isolated the noise to be coming from the intermediate steering shaft, and as of lately, my Nitro doesn't have to be in motion to get that sound. Maybe the mechanics will hear it now, they tried sending me to a transmission mechanic because it's a rear wheel drive, I had a talk with the mechanics there and of course the rear differential wouldn't have anything to do with the steering shaft. Does that sound about right?
Dude this is the only video that made me not thing my axle may have been. My transmission lol bless you and nice video my friend
Hey Dalton, you're welcome. CV joints can get very loud and can definitely make you think your issue is worse than it really is lol. Let me know if you have questions.
My 05 lancer is doing this and it's loud even when I'm going straight but before it got bad less than a day before I only noticed it when turning
Hi Mario, when the make noise going straight they are extremely worn lol, but it does happen.
Great video, my 2003 audi A4 has same problem. But very noisy when turning, metal clicking badly
Hi Nadine,Thanks! Yes, the CV joint can get very loud towards the end of it's life, you may want to replace it as soon as you can afford it 😊
Hi Eddie, had the Audi out today......ended up my drive shaft came out today ( maybe left CV joint too long? ) +£100 for recovery truck to mechanic, so il find out tomorrow exactly what the damage is 😲
I ended up needing a new drive shaft @EddieCarrara
Hi. I've taken my 1999 Lincoln Navigator into the mechanic twice, and spend thousands of dollars on suspention work, to have a LOUD "CLUNKING" noise repaired -- but the problem still remains.
The noise happens occasionally -- usually when I pull out of a parking spot.
When I turn the wheel right, and begin to move forward, It sounds like the front passenger side makes a HUGE, LOUD, "CLUNKING" noise, as thought I am rolling over a BOULDER, and the vehicle strains to accelerate forward.
What could the problem be?
Tirods or cv axles my guess
Maybe stab links
I wonder what caused this? I will like to know so maybe I can avoid this to happen again to my car, I already bought the Axle shaft but I don't wanna damage that one if it is me that's causing it, or maybe it's just that it gets old? IDK if someone knows lmk pls. :)
Aging is one of the reason why it happens :)
Hi Yoan, Castle is correct, age is a factor and there is really no way to avoid the failure. The only way the driver can shorten the life of a CV joint is by side stepping the clutch, doing rollbacks (burnouts, teardrops), or being super abusive to the drivetrain. Drive your car normally and they will only fail because of normal wear and tear.
Oh okay thank you, well I drive my car normally so I guess it’s the age, thanks for the answer.
hi eddie, today in yr video i hardly found same nature sound that i m having. But the case is little different then you showed. The sound comes when the car is in stop mode n when i gradually press accelator this sound comes n, goes off automatically after the car is in full speed. Again, when i apply the brake and the car starts slowing ,when speed reaches at around 15-20km speed then i can again hear this sound. plz help me, if u want i can forward you that sound. i also tried posting in Facebook auto mechanic group, no one gave me answer. FYI, i recently replaced front shock absorber with mounting, lower arm, link rod,rack end, soy bar bush but didnt work. thank you

this is the sound.
Hi Lifeboy45, that sound is the caliper creaking. I recommend you remove the caliper where the noise is coming from, clean and lube the slide pins, clean and lube all pad to caliper contact points, the noise should subside. Let me know how you make out 👍

it makes that sound om my peugeot 2008 everytime i turn full lock to the right at slowerspeed at example a parkinglot
Hi Cheikh, if the car is moving when you hear the noise it's most likely the CV joint.
My car was new 2023. After I do the u turn reverse . I heard that sound when I turn right today . So I try again with Uturn and reverse is gone. Idk if that going happen tonight again. U know what should I do ? Thanks
Hi Nick, just keep an ear out for the noise, you may be hearing something different.

Thanks
You're Welcome
I have a 2015 Subaru Legacy and it makes a sound very similar to this but only when driving and doing uturns. Any ideas ? I’m getting her looked at Friday
Hi Kennedy, sounds like one of your CV joints may be the culprit, they are noises when taking very tight turns and accelerating. Keep me posted on what they find, and if you have questions about the repair, I'll be right here 😊
My Saturn v6 started doing the exact noise when turning and stepping on breaks and take off but also did my suspension where make sure your car is in good condition to drive and had work done to it 2-3 weeks later now this noise
Hi Val Tina, try to figure out what side the noise is coming from and look at the outer CV boot on that side, see if they damaged the boot and if it's leaking grease?
I have a rwd car and I hear a similar sound ( not so loud) in the driver front side on tight turns. Any idea what could be?
Hi Leo, worn ball joints can make this noise sometimes, I also recommend you check the upper strut mounts if your vehicle has struts. Let me know if this helps.
I have a brand new CRV with less than 1000 miles on it that is making this same noise, it’s not as frequent but sounds exactly the same. Is it possible that my CV joint has already gone bad?
Hi Ethan, It's highly unlikely but it is possible. I recommend you take your vehicle to any Honda Dealer and ask to bring a technician for a road test to point out the noise, be persistent to road test with a technician because most techs will not take the time to listen for the noise. Keep me posted on what you find, I'm very curious, thanks.
Bro my car does this stationary. Like when im coming out a parking spot and turn the wheel left or right it makes the sound but not when im driving. What do i need to do? And how mucb would that cost me? Let me know
It's probably not cause by the CV joint, more likely a ball joint, upper strut, or steering rack. You'll need to have it diagnosed or try pinpointing the noise yourself. You could use a long screwdriver as a stethoscope or buy an automotive one from an auto parts store or Amazon, here is a link amzn.to/2K38F5r
If you buy through the link I make a small commission, I don't care about the commission I just know it's easier to point you to the right tool. By law I have to make that statement.
Have someone sit in the car and turn the wheel while you search for the noise with the screwdriver or stethoscope, once you pinpoint it, replace it or have it replaced. Let me know if this helps, thanks.
Yo mine does the exact same thinf did you ever get this fixed going to the shop tomorrow just curios?
mine is doing that when i turn right and go straight, when i go faster it doesnt sound that much
My car makes same noise when you go in corners and accelerate. But never while driving straight. It's not a lot of noise, if you take it slowly there is almost 0 noise. Is it ok to drive like this for a long period?
Hi Warrior, I always recommend you take it to your local reputable mechanic just so they can verify the noise and they can give you their opinion on how safe it is to drive. CV joints don't usually fail abruptly, they become noisier over time and eventually need to be replaced, but it's a good idea to have it checked just to be sure. Let me know what you decide to do, thanks.
@@EddieCarrara1 at the moment I'll let it like it is, it does that only if you go fast in corners of accelerate. I'll just take care of it and when I can afford a new cv joint I'll probably install it.
Thanks for your reply aswell
Hi Eddie, my 2012 Honda Odyssey making the same clicking noise like yours in the video. The clicking noise come when I’m driving turning left and right going through pumps etc. It also have clicking noise when the car stop and I turn the steering left and right. Do you think is the cv axle or the steering shaft? Thanks
Hi Darren, I think you have two problems and you hit the nail on the head. It sounds like the steering rack is making noise when you're sitting still turning the steering wheel and the CV joint is making noise when turning and driving. Let me know if this helps 👍
Just my left side clicks but should I change both?
Hi Jamie,
I always recommend replacing the one that is making noise, no sense in replacing a good part that could last for years. you would be needlessly spending money. Let me know how you make out, thanks.
If you don’t change it will it be a problem I’m short on money atm
Hi eddie. My 2004 honda accord making much louder cracking noise while turning moving car and little sound while driving. I can’t figure out whats the problem. That sound is horrible like “ kdakk- kdakk kdakk/ tak - takk- takk” like some thing is gonna break if i turn wheel. I m scared now i dont drive my car now. Please tell me what problem can be and what cost it will take overall if you know. Thanks
Hi Gur, your description sounds like a CV joint and the cost can vary. The mechanic will charge you from 1.5 -2 hours labor and the price of the part amzn.to/32deYdR

Hi Mariscion. I recommend you check all the nuts a bolts on the components that were replaced, something may not be torqued properly. Did the noise start after the parts were replaced?
I literally just bought a 2020 mustang gt and it starting to make a loud pop when I turn, think it’s the same issue? It only has 800 miles on it
Ice_wallow_come 69 I’m not sure if that would be your problem. On front wheel drive cars the CV joints are extended when driving around corners your CV joints pretty much stay straight. I guess it all depends on where the noises coming from, the front of the car or rear?
A v8 mustang doesn't have CV joints bro only fwd cars.
Facing the same issue currently with my Honda civic 2015! Now I know, the mechanic will not fuck me.
Yes Umair, it nice to know what is causing your noise before someone diagnoses it, knowledge is power if used correctly lol.
My Lexus does the same when I turn both wheels all the way and also when I stop and accelerate it makes a weird sound… I need to replace both cv joint axles? Or just the CV boot?
Hi Serg, It sounds like at least one axle needs to be replaced, probably not both.
My 2010 Corolla has been making a noise since I got it 2 years ago. Just a knock when turning to the right sharply sometimes. When I first got it would do the left too but that went away when I replaced the fender liner that was rubbing and flapping sometimes. The mechanic I had look at it said it was looking fine and they took a drive and couldn't reproduce the noise. What do you think hasn't got worse in 12000 miles?
Btw the sound is like tap tap tap tap when it does happen sometimes it will just do one quick tap but sometimes it will make 3 or 4 taps
Hi Evan, it's hard to say what is making the noise. A CV joint will usually be very consistent and the noise doesn't go away so you may have something else going on. I recommend you keep an ear on it and when or if it gets worse bring it to your mechanic so they can check it out.
@@EddieCarrara1thanks I've been keeping an ear on it hasn't seemed to change if I don't steer sharp it doesn't happen just have to take it easier
@@EddieCarrara1 here is a video of my noise czcams.com/users/shorts7Vp7AN2JYhY?feature=share
Hi Eddie I have a 2013 ford fiesta and it makes the same noise I just wanted to say this video is the only one that shows the same noise that"and I apricots that" mine makes any chance it the same problem?
Hi Maya, yes, it's very possible your vehicle has the same issue. CV joints don't last a life time and sometimes wear prematurely. I recommend you have a seasoned mechanic test drive it with you so you can point out the noise and they can give you their opinion. Let me know what you find, thanks.
Yep this is happening to my 09 camry on the driver side when im accelerating. just started today, problem is I work and need to drive about 159miles tomorrow and im afraid my cars gonna completely fail me tomorrow. Is that a reasonable concern? I can def get it onto the shop this weekend though.
CV joints generally don't fail completely that quick, they take a lot of abuse, but I can't say for sure because I don't know the history of the vehicle. Wish I had a better answer for you.
Eddie Carrara all good sir ! My cars at the shop now lolol.
I have a 09 camry too and yeah my driver side started making noise like a year ago and then finally changes it after 9k miles lol.. anyway a month or two later the passenger made noise changed it. Car has been great since and the cv joints don't cost but 60-100 so if you do it yourself it isn't. Bad
I have a 2019 Nissan Rogue, and making this clicking sound. At first it was only when I turn right, now doing it when turning left. Sounds like it is coming from passenger wheel. I took it in for services, and they claim they did not hear it, but change the bumper assembly and nuts. Still doing it. Maybe its the CV joint?
Hi Charlotte, The CV joint will only click on acceleration and usually when turning (sometimes when accelerating going straight on an extremely worn CV joint) and the clicking is rhythmic with the rotation of the wheels. Is this what you're hearing? You could test drive with the mechanic to point out the noise, this is the most effective way to share your concerns with the mechanic.
Hey mines mostly makes that noise but mostly when I exit a parking spot on reverse but driving normal doesn't make noise when I turn can this still be the same issue here on the video
If you havn’t changed that yet you might want to asap, I was driving and the whole thing snapped and popped out so my tire was completely perpendicular with the car, luckily I was in a parking lot so I was doing 5 mph rather than 50 mph :O
Hi Nestor. If you're hearing the clicking in reverse only, the CV joint may only be in the beginning stages of going bad. Usually you can hearth clicking on sharp turns while accelerating in either direction (forward or reverse) and it will also depend on which way your turning the steering wheel (left or right). I recommend you try accelerating in all combinations to see where it makes the most noise. Let me know what you find, thanks.
I have a 2006 cls500 mercedes rear wheel drive just replaced my passenger side lower control arm and my airmatic strut now my drivers side is making this sound when turning left it doesn’t make any noise when turning right just left at a slower speed like when im turning into a parking spot or pullin in one what could it be? My bushings?
Hi Hollywood, Most likely it's a CV joint making the noise but because you just had some work done on the vehicle you may want to return to your mechanic and have them check their work. Sometimes when the axle nut is not torqued to spec the axle splines make this noise, sometimes it helps to lube the CV joint splines that go into the hub and torque the axle nut to spec. If none of this fixes the noise you may need a CV joint or axle replacement. Let me know what happens, thanks.
hi my 2011 hyundai sonata does this mostly when i back up in reverse and the wheel is turned all the way, usually i’m just using the brakes. it’s a just a sharp clicking noise
Sounds like a CV joint to me notme 😊
I have exactly the same car (odyssey) and same exact problem. It only happens when i do a left turn. Where is the best place to have it repaired? And how much do you think it will cost? Thanks for the video.
Got mine replaced today after watching the video for $1145. Both left and right were broken. $450 each + labor.
Hey GCO, so the noise is gone? The price sounds about right👍
@@EddieCarrara1 yes noise is gone, and the steering became smoother as well.
@@geeseeoh ouch! You can get both sides online for under two hundred total and they aren't that hard to replace in your drive way.
Well my subie has this problem (same sound is produced) Whenever I accelerate from 0 to like 30, brake or turn. Comes from right side... Some people tell me its the right ball joint, some tell me that its the axle, I’m kinda lost...
Hi JuSt1cE, can you take a 1-2 minute video of the noise, post it on CZcams and send me the link?
I've been searching for a while, and finally found the right nosie your describing! But I found I don't have to be necessarily turning, but I can just be a Low speeds and this happened, but goes away at higher speeds! Any thoughts!??
Thanks heaps!
Hi Rylosaunders, Does the noise get more pronounced when turning? Do you hear it when you're only driving straight? Can you make a 1 minute video, post it to CZcams and send me the link so I can listen to it?
@@EddieCarrara1 Hi Eddie . Same thing is happening with rylosaunders is happening with me . When I’m driving straight I can hear the noise I was hearing in your video . And yes not when turning . And I’ve taken it to couple inspections and they can’t figure it out . But I think I’ll just have to replace both axels and see what happens .
@@investor2.031 there a couple of possibilities, if the axle nut is not torqued to spec sometimes they can make noise. Something else to check is a caliper creak, when calipers are not lubricated enough the can creak at low speeds. Let me know if this helps.
@@investor2.031 at what speeds do you hear the noise? Describe when you hear, what speed and anything else you can think of to add.
@@EddieCarrara1 I’ll check on that let you know .and thank you .
My 06 VW Jetta makes a popping sound when turning and accelerating. I feel it crackling in the gas pedal on my foot. The weird thing is when parallel parking in grass after work it made a really loud pop noise when turning the steering wheel while it wasn’t moving..have driven it since as this just happened this night haha
You may have two different problems? A pop in the suspension is usually a loose or worn ball joint of some kind. I recommend you check them all, even the sway bar links, if all is good, check all subframe and suspension nuts and bolts for torque, something is moving and you just need to find out what?
I have 2010 dodge journey with a knocking once while making left n right turn not clicking or clunking..
Hi PS, you may want to have the front end checked for any worn or loose parts just to be safe.
My car did that a bit on hard turns for 2 weeks then it just stopped after a 2 hr long drive.. was it the cv?
Hi Andrew,
If it was the CV joint making noise and it stopped, the noise will return. This is a crazy hypothesis but maybe the CV joint got hot on your trip and the metal expanded and stopped clicking? Crazy thought but there are some things in this world we just can't explain lol 🤔
should I be changing the cv axle on both front left and front right or is it fine to just replace front left?
Hi Evan, I always replace just the one that is making noise, there's no need to spend money for nothing. Cheers🍻
My 2019 honda civic makes a similar sound(click) but i only hear it when i take a tight left turn. Dosent make any noise until the steering wheel is all the way to the left. Do you think this is a similar issue or something else?
Hi Daniel, if the noise sounds like the video I would say yes. if you're hearing a single click or creaking, it might be something different. Let me know if I can answer any other questions, thanks.
Hi this is the exact noise (but WAYYY louder) my 2006 Jeep Commander makes only when I make turns (sharp turns) BUT I recently had my cv axle replaced and it wasn’t doing this BEFORE I got it replaced but a day after it was put on my car started doing this. I’ve been to EVERY mechanic I can think of and they all say they don’t know what it is. Can you please help me?????
Hi Cierra, if the noise started the day after you had the CV joints replaced it probably a defective CV joint that they installed. I highly recommend you bring it back to the mechanic who installed them and have them check their work, it's possible the didn't torque the axle nut and the splines and making the noise. Let them know the noise started after the repair, not before.
hi there. my 2015 mazda 3 has the exact same sound that it makes but only when you’re stationary with the wheels turn, when parking and sometimes when turning into a sharp left corner at a slow speed. what can be the cause of this?
Hi Jptuaz, If you're hearing the noise when turning the steering wheel but the car is not rolling forward it could be the steering rack making the noise. Let me know if this is one of the scenarios when you hear the noise, thanks.
Eddie Carrara it may be, have to get it checked. checked both sides of my cv joints, boots are all in tack, no leaking and tears and this all syarted when i changed to 18” from my stock 16”.
This is totally my experience with my 2002 Avalanche. Sounds perfect when driving forward at any speed.
My 2013 Nissan Altima started doing this. However I heard that tapping/clicking sound as I was very slowing driving thru a parking lot. I was going straight, never turning the wheel. I thought maybe it was the shocks. When I got home, before pulling into my garage, I stopped and turned the wheel back and forth and it made sound then too and as I slowly turned in to the garage. What do you think? Cost to repair??
Not CV joints, more likely a suspension part like sway bar links, tie rods, steering rack, ball joints or upper strut mounts. I recommend you start by having the front end checked for any worn or damage parts before changing anything.
@@EddieCarrara1 yep you’re right. It was the stabilizer bar link and control arm. All good now.
@@deztroyer76 Sweet! Thanks for the feedback 👍
I have Honda civichatcback 2018 and make the same noise ..I will take it to the shop tomorrow..I do uber full time..I have to make this happen sooner than later..thank you for the video..do u know how much can cost?
Sorry so late Xavi, usually about $150 - $200 for parts and about 1.5 - 2.0 hours labor per axle in our New England area. Let me know how you make out.
Hi i just have a question my car is making popping noise and cracking noise and I don’t really know what it is but sometimes when I’m driving I get scared because something is going to happen like the wheel falling off or something.
It's rare that a wheel will fall off but It would be a good idea to have it checked just to be sure it's safe to drive. As much as I would like to I can't diagnose your car with a description. Let me know what they find.
Now my car doe this EXACT same noise when I turn right or go over pot holes....now when its raining the noise that u hear in your video is what my car does.....especially when I press on the accelerator ( in the rain)) do u know what could be causing that?
Hi Kim, I think you hear it in the rain because your windows are rolled up and the noise is more defined. I still suspect one of the CV joints. Let me know what you find, thanks 😊
@@EddieCarrara1 bro is there any chance of this of breaking
Hello 10th Accord Sedan,auto trans, 4 cyl, 1k miles..I just picked this car up. When shifting into drive from park, and especially after backing up and then shifting from reverse to drive and start accelerating, I hear what sounds like a metallic clicking noise up front. It sounds like the transmission. Sometimes it is barely noticeable, other times it is pretty loud. It is simply a loud click(sometimes not so loud)and not a thunk. It only happens once after shifting and does not make any noise afterwards while driving. And also will not happen again unless I switched to R and start accelerating.
That's called pad shift, it's actually the brake pads shifting up and down in the caliper, it's a single click when changing direction, forward or reverse. Nothing to worry about, it's a very common noise for Honda.
My 2009 X5 is making a similar noise front driver side wheel, but only does it when driving over 25mph. Does not do it when turning.
Think it could be the cv joint ?
Hi Alberto, not likely, it sounds to me like there is some kind of splash-shield under the car that is loose and the wind at that speed is causing it to hit something like the tire or the pavement? I would stat by checking all your splash shields for loose parts. If everything is ok it is probably a bushing or ball joint creaking. do you ever hear the noise when driving over large speed bumps?
@@EddieCarrara1 already rooms off all splash guards. The noise can only be heard when driving between 25 - 45 mph.
I’ll check the ball joint again.
(I did recently get a new transmission)
@@APC9906 It might be a good idea to bring it back to the shop that replaced the transmission and take the mechanic for a ride to point out the noise, they may have left something loose. Keep me posted on what you find, thanks.
Got the same noise coming from my 2011 alfa romeo giulietta making alot of noise when turning and also when going over speed bumps noise seems like its coming from the hub area so assume its the outer cv joint thats worn bought a driveshaft today as cant get hold of a cv joint hopefully changing that resolves the issue 👊🏽👊🏽
Hi Kuz, Is the noise when turning and accelerating for a stop or very slow speed?
@@EddieCarrara1 it happens when turning at low speeds and driving over uneven roads or speed bumps, changed the driveshaft and noise still there maybe it could be a droplink?
@@KuZ1008 Yes, it's possible the sway br links and bushings are causing the noise. If you replace the sway bar links, replace the hold down bushings as well ( bushings that attach the sway bar to the body or frame of the vehicle) they are super cheap and you'll kill two birds with one stone 👍 A CV joint will not make noise over uneven road surfaces FYI. Let me know how you make out 😊
Hi my hyundai accent 2005 manual car giving sound when i turn left and right . I repaired it before 3 month but now again giving sound . Can u tell me please what should i do and what i need to change
Hi Karambir, if the noise is the same noise as before the repair you may have a defective axle/ CV joint. Hopefully, there is a parts warranty on the parts you replaced.
I have a 2020 honda civic sport and it makes this same sound a bit louder even while stationary. Should i take it to the dealer?
Yes because if it's making this noise when you're not moving it's definitely not the CV joint or axle.
I ran over a pot hole and my 2022 Elantra is doing the same thing not as bad is it the same problem also when accelerating or breaking. Is it the same thing?
Not usually when braking DFC, usually only when turning and accelerating from a stop.
Hey I drive a 1997 Ford Explorer XLT and when I make wide you turned my car make that sound and I'm not sure if it's the right side or the left side so I've been having minor problems I thought it was the alignment causing it to vibrate I got that fixed the alignment wasn't the problem and now my car still be ran off to the right and it makes that kind of annoys do you think that we have anything to do with my car not driving straight
Please can you let me know when you get this I'll even leave my email address or a phone number where I can directly talk to you to let you know cuz it seems like you know your stuff you don't want people to waste money where is not needed I like that kind of stuff just like first car so I just want to know thank you
Hi Terry Joe, a CV joint shouldn't cause a pull, a pull is usually caused by alignment (which you've done) and the other cause is tires, and most likely the vibrations is caused by your tires as well. If you rotate the front tire to the rear and the rear to the front, the pull should change if the tires are the problem, if there is no change and the pull is exactly the same, cross the front tires side to side and see if that makes a difference in the pull. I'm assuming the mechanic who just did all your front end work checked the tire conditions and set the tire pressures to their desired PSI. Let me know if this helps 🍻
I know this video is 2 years old but my toyota started to do this noise 2 days ago and it's getting louder and more worrisome. My mechanic is coming over like in a week because he's busy. He thinks it the axel just by listening to the noise. He's gonna ck it then but my question is can I still drive it like this for a few days? The noise is annoying and scary and pretty loud.
Hi Maria, CV joints don't typically fail completely quickly unless there is severe damage. I recommend you call your mechanic and ask them if it's safe to drive for a few days because he is more familiar with the condition of your vehicle. Hope this helps.
My Chrysler 300 makes that noise when I turn the steering wheel left or right what do I need to change ?

@@user-gi3hv1lf4h Sounds like it to me 👍Let me know what you find, thanks.
Steering shaft
what if there is just a single click/pop noise when accelerating in reverse or forward with the steering wheel turned?
it also doesn't happen with regular driving.
Hi VR, it could be your brake pads shifting in the front caliper. Pad shift is when you hear one single click when going from drive to reverse or vice versa.
@@EddieCarrara1
thank you.
I've read that it could be the pads shifting, but it doesn't make sense. I installed new pads, rotors and calipers and still had the issue after. This definitely wouldn't be something by design.
Your video demonstrates to me that it's probably not the CV joint either, because it doesn't do it while driving and there is no evidence for any damage.
If it was the strut mount it would making the clunking noise while driving on bumps as well which is not the case.
I'm actually thinking the issue is more towards the transmission mount.
As there is sometimes a slight vibration on idle (ticking noise) and I think it's somehow related to the clunk as the power is transferred over.
So my car has been making that noise for a couple years now, only when I turn sharp! Can I just leave it or will this break or something while im on the freeway? Thanks
Two years is a long time to ignore a problem lol. I can't say what will happen but can recommend you have your local mechanic give you their opinion.
I just had both CV joints/axles on my fwd maxi cx9 replaced and I still get the noise when making hard turns and accelerating... im convinced its not any other part.. now im wondering if the replacement parts are cheap and weren't greased properly.
It's possible Diallo, I have had defective rebuilds straight form the store, we don't get paid twice to replace them, we just get the new part at no cost 🙄
@@EddieCarrara1 OK thanks for that answer. I'm gonna give it a day or two more to see if the noise diminishes. If it doesn't I'm gonna tell the mechanic I think the parts are defective
@@mikesuniverse1789 It's safe to say the noise will still be there. Call them and ask if you can come down so you can take them for a road test together, that way you can point out the noise. Keep me posted.
@@EddieCarrara1 will do
@@EddieCarrara1 so I took the mechanic for a ride today. The clicking wasnt as noticeable as its has been. Mechanic said wet roads allow the tires to give a little and thats probably why. But he said it wasnt the CV axle.. He said it was the differential. Said it was a common problem in the CX9. He reassured me that the parts they replaced the old CV axle with were new and not refurbished...
Online I see a lot of complaints about the differential so maybe the mechanic is right about that. Who am I to debate it with him. He said it wasnt dangerous and that replacing the differential was expensive but unneccesary.
I may have it replaced anyway because I dont like that sound.
I don’t know what my car is doing but the steering wheel itself makes a clicking noise when I turn sometimes, yesterday I turned and it was getting stuck at low speeds and clicked until I turned farther I’m struggling to figure out what it is exactly
Hi Nick, is the noise inside or outside the vehicle?
My car is making a sound like that ka ka when l turn righ also when l revase is it dangerous
