Thread: What causes the axles to click?

What causes the axle's to click

rip in the boot can cause it, you could be loosing axle greese, if the axles are clicking you more than likly have a bad cv joint this will case the sound like a clicking.. it could just be your cv joint making the clokcing noise all together

the little joints in there getting loose, usually from lack of lubrication and dirt and water getting in there...Heavy use will cause it too.

The boots can be busted for a long time before all the grease comes out and they start to click. Unless you live on a dirt road or something.

The reason they are clicking is because the axles have developed some pits where the roller balls work. The pits come from road grit and grim that gets in when the boots are torn and not attended to promptly.

lol little joints?

Ya actually if you take the joint apart, you will see grooves worn into the cup that the ball bearings sit in. And when you turn the wheel, the ball bearings will slide in and out of the grooves causing the clicking noise.

The most common cause is lack of lubrication. Either a boot gets torn or there wasn't enough grease in there to properly lubricate things. I've seen CVs go for 200K miles easily with multiple boot replacements and still work fine. Even on cars driven by teenagers.

Ok so i took apart my entire suspension and it was lack of lubrication to the cv joints. But since ive been wanting to do this for a while now i said ****it and now im doin a five speed swap. Not knowing this whole time my parts car had an LSD tranny in it. ???So now what i need to know is can i use the auto engine harness for the five speed???

oh no! lol. man read up on everything before you attempt to do this. you gotta get the lsd axles you have to use the crossmember . use the motor mout that comes with your spare tranny. and i would just find a 5 speed harness so you wont have to wire up anything. what year is your car?

Its comin outta running 91 se-r. All i need is the lower control arms, wheel bearings ,seals and the axles were rebuilt already. But should i swap over the harness? And how hard is to do

what year is your car? seals??? contr0l arms wheel bearings?? why?? everything is the same the only thing you need to swap over is the tranny the tranny mount the cross member and the driver side axle

Mine is a 94 and im just getting those parts cause mine were bad and i figure since mine were bad i should change em.
