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).

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!
