Popping when making a right turn! HELP!

[qbcsvt]

Hey Guys, I am still working on my suspension due to low funds..... Man longest suspension swap in years Im guessing LOL!!!

Regardless, When I make a right turn either slight or hard I get a Popping when accelerating. I can drive fairly regular when going straight or making a left turn without any hastle(I dont drive the car only move for street cleaning). It seems as if the Popping is coming from the Drivers side.

I am thinking I may have messed up the CV Joints when installing my suspension and this may be the cause and the whole AXLE (half shaft/cv joints) is causing the problem. I just would like for somebody to confirm or give me a better sense/explanation. Also if you can included a linked or quick how-to on how to replace the piece(im lost on the axle/scared to deal with anything being taken out/inserted into the tranny.

Currently changed is:
Struts/Coilovers
Inner and Outer tie rods

Will be changed: LCA's, HUB/Bearing/Knuckle Kit(both sides)

Thanks in advance
I need to get my car up and running I havent driven it in like FOREVER!!!!

Sounds like textbook bad CV joint. I'm headed off to bed as I'm falling asleep otherwise I'd respond more fully but since you asked for confirmation I thought I'd throw that out there.

I was thinking the same, Should I end Up replacing axles or just the drivers side(as the popping seems to be coming from the drivers side)??? Also if that I couldnt find a how-to that specifies what parts are needed. Like any o rings, clips, special tools.

I was thinking, Remove caliper, Disconnect LCA, Remove Hub, and then....

Do I just pull out the axle, is something holding it in? Do I have to remove the boots?

I was thinking of using a Slide Hammer and putting it on the rear CV Joint closer to the tranny.

I believe there is some type of lock ring in there and I dont want to damage anything and get stuck or messed up. Also when re-installing does the axle pop right in or does it need some force for that???

I also cannot seem to find the website that had 2 axles with a discount....

If the CV proves to be okay, check the ball joint and the bushings.
