Axle problems...HELP!!!

Well I just got my axles changed on my Pro about a month ago cos... heh.. I didn't have any money to fix the CV boot and...

So.. a chain reaction of stuff broke... axles, rotors.. etc..

But yeah now it's fixed... my problem is at idle speed (coasting to a stop light), when I turn the wheel in park... or when I make a sharp turn I hear this loud click. Other than those times it's fine. Could it be that I need a new CV boot or something?

Help me out guys!!!

Thanx

Tim

When I had this problem, after continuing to drive the rest of the day..the click became a knock and the knock suddenly went CRACK-BOOM! and my axel snapped while making a left turn at a stop sign.

That's why you always get things replaced at the first sign of trobule. I learned this lesson the hard way TWICE (see my post about my clutch).

heh... yeah I learned that lesson too... when I first had the axle replaced and it made that noise I brought it back and they told me that the axle was defective and changed it... heh.. still makes that noise and they say nothing is wrong with it....

Im having the smae problem. I taken the passenger wheel off and checled the cv boot, the black rubber piece thats rippled, it was fine. I did the same for the driver side and found that the whole boot is ripped!

Trying to get it fixed soon!
