CV axle ticking?

[evan1170]

So when I'm driving, around when i am a little less than 0psi and random/off beat ticking starts, and the more boost i make or more throttle the ticking beomes faster and is consistent. The sound eels like its right under me but i cannot figure it out. Also when i back up there is a dragging sound that may be in rhythm with my wheels turning. both front axles have rips in them so i suspect it to be them but i am not sure.

 

[YES]

When you're driving slow and making sharp turns do your axles start clicking? If they do, you should replace them.

Sounds like the end of you half shaft is jacked up.

i think I've heard a knocking sound making sharp right turns.. would bad half shafts result in this ticking sound I'm getting while adding a good amount of throttle?

from what noise you say you hear, if your boots are ripped im sure your axles are shot.

I got same problem mechanic said my cv axles, wheel assembly, or ball joints

 

[evan1170]

i had another noise before from my ball joints, they were toast so i replaced them and the noise went away. So i guess the cv axles or wheel bearings? I'm pretty sure i had a cv boot ripped before but it didn't make this sound....it seems like its right under or behind me, i think.

Does anybody search anymore? There's already dozens of threads here about this issue. Surely we don't need more.
