The CV's were bad but I replaced the halfshafts. The clicking happens right along with a sort of a limp at slow speed, which feels like the tires may have a bit of a flat spot after being parked all night. I know the mechanic tightened the halfshafts real good the second time around 'cause the first time the driver's side came right off of the transaxle. I'm pretty sure my shocks and probably the strut bearings are shot. Could this be it?

Rear bearings produce a roaring sound as they fail. Since you're reporting clicking sounds, it's most likely something in a CV joint. Do they ever click when you're turning to full-lock at extremely low speeds? --- [email protected] wrote: > Does anyone know what a clicking sound coming from the suspension > might be? > Sounds similar to how bad CV joints sound like when turning, but I > have new > halfshafts, and it seems to only happen when I first take off in > the morning > while going straight (when the tires have a bit of a flat spot > after sitting all > night).
