Default Need Help!!

Hey guys, I am getting a weird clicky noise from the front of my car everytime i accelerate lightly in 3rd and 4th gear. also around turns too when accelerating. I do not have the noise running stationary so it has something to do with when i accelerate.. any help?

Thanks,

~mike

CV joint

Most likely it is the left or right one

Also a slim chance that one of the CV's on the drive shaft has failed, one front, one rear

Take it back and have them checked. I have had several 'new' ones go bad. If for some reason they installed them 'pre-loaded' ( easy to do in a rush) then they will go bad quick. Could also be rebuilds gone bad. Should be under at least a part warranty though.
