Hard lock clicking noise

[Krys_23]

Its been occurring for quite some time, i inspected cv boots and its not that, ball joints and outer tie rods have been replaced so i just wanted to ask if the inner tie rods were really worn would they start to click on hard lock under acceleration like away from a junction?

thanks.

When mine was doing this it was a snapped spring but I think it started with a crack as I could not see the problem at first

Top mounts ok?

 

[Krys_23]

Springs are brand new, not sure how you'd check a top mount?

I had a problem similar to this a while back. Turns out my gear box mount was missing bolts.

 

[Krys_23]

I will give that a check over thanks!

Cv joint most likely

 

[Krys_23]

Checked cv joints all are well.

 

[Sean6545]

So how did you check them? You cant see a cv joint unless you strip the boot. Or do you mean you have checked the cv boot?

As sean said sounds like a warn cv joint.

I would take a major guess that is the driveshaft splines clicking on full lock. Check your cv boots haven't chucked their grease at some point. Will only get worse over time but as long as you're not a wheelspin kind of fella will probably last a good while before needing attention. If it gets worse quickly, cv s will need doing.

The passenger boot was exposed but i resealed it, the sound appears to be coming from the drivers side.

You may have resealed it but did you repack it with grease first?
If you have run either cv too dry for too long you may have already done the damage to the splines.

Yes i refilled it
