CV/AXLE????

dont know if this question should be here or the tech section but oh well..........

got a noise guys.....it happens while turning the wheel. sounds like a wheel bearing when just slightly bending with the curves of the road,,, but when cutting the wheel all the way as to go in circles and listen for clicking....it makes a horrible squeaking noise.....like the opening of a ungreased door only with the rotations of the wheel....? i've never heard a cv/axle that needed replacing that didnt make a clicking noise, but everything is pointing to that. the noise baffles me, sounds like the front end is seriously damaged....the noise is loud!!!

any ideas?

I know it may be a long shot but I'm just taking a wild guess by your description. Could it possibly be your brakes? I know my driver side brake is squeeking like crazy when making a slight left turn and being turned all the way. Just a possibility. Do you notice any vibration or anything?

minor vibration....maybe squeaking was the wrong word to describe....more like groaning!!! or even moaning...........

replace your bearings.... solved my problem.. car was moaning, groaning, and lots of vibration..crackling..and humming...and got worse while turning...

i Replaced both axles and both bearings, and car was good as new...
