Well today I was going around a long, sharp, right hander and all the sudden I felt this sudden jerk and I heard this popping sound up on the right front of my car... I drove around for about an hour and it keeps on making this same popping sound and gives me a sudden jerk..... The funny thing is it only does it on right hand turns!!!! I love this car but, but ,but .........

I will be getting my front end inspected when i put in my winter tires, but before they quote me for repairs i'd like to know how much i'm looking at and if i can do this myself. does anyone know what kind of work is envolved in replacing one. 95 SE MTX DH UIM, 65mm TB, SC CAI, Quaife, Centerforce, Fidanza, UR Pulley, F/R Strut Braces, Cross Drilled Rotors, S.S.

The whole axle can be replaced at once which includes both inner/outer CV joints. This can be done with jackstands in your driveway/garage. The left (DS) axle was about $65 (with core) at NAPA. The right side is probably a little more because of the extra bearing support. (?) A Haynes manual is sufficient for the job. Might want to consider replacing the wheel bearing once you have the front end torm apart. (Figure an extra $85) Oh yeah, AZ and Advance dont carry the parts and the dealer wants way more $$$.

A WORN CV joint that still hasn't failed yet does what you describe, but one time I was driving my Mom's van a few years ago, and it went pop pop pop CLANK CLANK! And then I seen it on the road in the rear view mirror! Of course it happened on a corner while sharply accelerating.

Well Demon, I took your advice and took the wheel off and did a visual inspection!!! The CV joint LOOKS Ok no torn boots or any thing!!!!! Also upon further inspection I found that it does make this noise on both left and right hand turns, even at low speeds. If I turn the wheel all the way to on side and drive in a circle at about 5mph it makes the Popping or clonking noise about every 4-5 seconds but it seems to be a lil louder on right hand turns....... Any Ideas?????? Also Demon the control arm bushing, is that the same as the A arm? 1998.5 CSVT #3617 K&N Custom Intake Custom 2 3/4 Magnaflow cat back Ram HD Power Grip Clutch Energy Suspension Inserts Bosch Platnium + Bf-Goodrich G-force radials "KDWS" Alpine deck CDA-7863 Boston mids More to come: Stock Sucks!!!!
