Thread: Bad axle or bad wheel bearing???

- I still say axle as well.

^^Yep, that was my first though. I just ordered a brand new one. Will see how it goes. I'll keep u posted. If that does not fix it, may be it is time to shop for a new car.

Axles? As in, the metal rods that transfer power from the motor to the wheels? Or do you mean the CV Joint?

- I would replace the whole axle. That's what I mean when I say axle. From the end point that locks into hub to the end point that locks into the trans. The whole thing.

I've had bad luck with autozone axles before so yea it does sound like an axle to me. They come with lifetime warranty though and u can actually take it back in and pay the difference for a new one which was like 20$ or so.. Idk if they still do that but they did it for me a few years back.

Ball joints, after changing everything over the years on my car to stop the clicking I changed the ball joints last weekend and guess what, clicking gone.

If changing the axle does not fix the problem, then that will be my next step.

Replacing balljoints is cheaper than replacing axles... Or at least, that would be logical.

Guess my post didnt post earlier :/ ball joints are easy to, just get a torch and heat it up till its cherry then hit it with a hammer and BOOM pops right out lol just dont touch it obivously haha

I can't do that. I dont have a torch, I dont know how to and I don't want to burn my house down

In case the ball joints are bad I will replace lower arms for brand new ones.
