hi, got a little problem with my steering, um, it pulls to the right a bit, however my steering wheel is turned to the left maybe less then a 1/4 of the way lol, and i get a knocking sound in the right wheel when i do a hard turn.

now the steering problem, there is a story to it, umm, coming home on new years just turned onto my street and the first house has these pretty big rectangular interlocked driveway curbs maybe 20-25cm tall, now somehow one of these curbs ran out in front and under the right side of my car, damaging a few things, but only on the right side, hub cap flew off and cracked, flattened the front right, bent the front right and back right rims, exhaust got unhooked and just scratches along the bottom, oh and the steering, yeah nothing visibly wrong in the suspension, just have to turn left to go straight, so wut could i have bent? dont know all the parts under their, alxe? tie rods?...

the next problem is with the annoying clicking sound when i do a sharp left? im on my 2nd cv boot on that side within a year and for the passenger side you have to take the axle out to change it, and thats kinda how it started, after changing the cv boot the last time, others have said its my bearing, but its not,

thats what it sounds like again is cv, the last time you chandes it did you get just a new boot or a whole new cv axle theyre pretty easy to change

change your axle so sure and then check your ball joint and tie rod end make sure its ok then make sure your lower control arm isnt bent i bent the **** out of mine drifting my car all i had to replace was the lower control arm and an axle and i know my **** was more fucked up than yours because my wheel looked like a taco and it was facing all the way to the left. if not have it checked out buy a alignment specialest . steve -o 420

for that clicking noise, ive had ppl tell me the same thing, thats its my axle, cause i only replaced the boots each time, so i guess that would be a fix,

as for the other problem, thx, im gonna have to start looking for those parts, maybe scrap yard.

yeah if your only changing the boots thats what wrong. replace both axles the run around $80 to $100 ea. your probably going to pay around $30 -$40 at the junk yard. you might find some good ones at the junk yard. if your going to do one you should do both. where are u from??? I live in so cali

toronto canada,

im probably gonna just do the passenger side, the driver side has never given me a problem, and the boot on the driver side can be changed without taking out the axle. the passenger side had to go to a mechanic, you have to take the axle out to change that one and couldn't get the axle out from the engine. mechanic managed to get it out both times, but he said something about these cars and the axles actually not be able to come out in the odd case.
