That really sucks....



OK you need to ask for clarification on that one. "Bad axles or bad CV Joints" The way you can check manually on this one is to take your car and....yes, accelerate and it should make a popping noise but it would sound more like popcorn popping and would be a little pronounced. Second test, drive slow, turn wheels to the right almost to lock and listen, then turn to the left and listen. No stupid doughnut tricks here OKKAAAAAYYYY???? If you hear it then, then yes, you probably have bad CV Joints and it would be easier to replace the entire axle than trying to rebuild it.
