The Sound Of A Popping Or Clicking CV Axle When Turning While Accelerating And What Causes It
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- In this video I have a great example of what a clicking or popping CV axle sounds like when making turns while accelerating. I even dissect the axle so that you can see what exactly failed on the inside giving you a better understanding of why a faulty CV axle can sound this way.
As mentioned in the video, this noise is usually made by the outer joint of the CV axle while making turns while accelerating. This noise is usually experienced on front wheel drive vehicles equipped with CV axles. A typical front wheel drive vehicle will come equipped with two CV axles, one on the left side and one on the right side and this noise can come from either of the two or both. CV axles are also know as "halfshafts". Each axle will have an inner joint and an outer joint. The outer joint is what we will go over in this video. The inner joint can also cause noise and other symptoms. But, it usually will not sound the way an outer CV joint sounds. Click on the links below for more information concerning inner joint wear and CV axle replacement.
So after getting some comments on the quality of the audio in this video, regarding the noise, I've made a new video that just features the noise. The audio is better quality. Here is that link:

Cool tip i figured out. Just turn your music up really loud and the ticking stops! That easy
Same problem hit me when I started my trip from uk to lithuania (2000km/1200mi) with my car. You cannot imagine the noise I was supposed to listen while driving 90/130kmh for 22 hours. The solution that I found most helpful by far was turning the music volume to max.
I love that you cut the boot open and cleaned it up to show it to us, now I can pair the noise with a visual - now that sound makes perfect sense. Thanks.
Glad to help
Good, video finally someone show the noise.
seems expensive i'll just ignore it
When I turn it sounds like I’m going up on a rollercoaster
Best video explaining the dynamics of why you’re experiencing the symptoms
I'm just glad I saw this before I ordered both cv axles and hubs when all I need is the axles... Thanks for the info!
I just left my car with a mechanic for 6 hours who said my car is fine even though my car has been making this noise for months. I knew he was wrong.
Great video. I'm hunting down a noise at the moment, and video and explanation helped me rule it out. Your expertise is greatly appreciated!
Hey folks! I've gotten some comments that the audio of the noise isn't all that great in the above video....So, I made another. It's a short one that only goes over the audio. Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/sNuEUwOq4k0/v-deo.html
Thank you for verifying! I had replaced the front shocks and still heard the noise. I was thinking probably axle. And yep, because I hear the sound when I’m turning mainly at low velocities like going into a driveway or when I’m turning the wheels to park in reverse.
My neighbor was like hey your cv joints are bad i was like wow thanks and he was right lmao. And i had no idea wtf that noise was lol. I tried googling it before but never found this. But this is it! 😂
That’s a real pop! I have a 2016 Scion tC and it’s more of a high pitched clink when I turn my wheel a solid rotation rather than a popping noise like in the video...
Check your shocks/struts....and your sway bar links.
Good explanation. I just heard this noise while pulling out quickly with traffic. With the wheel turned left and hard accelerating I hear it..
Hi there! I'm from Fiji, and I would like to simply say thank you for the very informative and educational explanation you've given, regarding CV joint problems. Now I get to understand my vehicular problems a little better than before. Thanks again, bro!
I had a car that had that noise. I felt the front of the car drop down. The next day I drove the car those balls rolled from under the tire. I took the used cv parts to auto zone in 3 pieces the guy looked at me and said if you was driving that car like that your lucky to be alive.
My UK Fiesta just started making this noise. Hopefully, I can get it repaired at a decent price, now that I know what the cause may be.
Thanks for the video 👍.
Out Freaking Standing and is just what's going on with my 05 Scion XA ! Thanks
TRAMENDUS!
Great vid! Showing the clicking noises helped me pinpoint my problem. Also, thanks for removing the boot and cleaning the grease away so that we could see exactly how this happens. Sub'd.
Great video. Very thorough explanation without too much technical jargon, easy to understand. Thanks.
Great video and good information. But if you keep driving on bad cv joints what's the ultimate outcome?
i did some research and it says your car will eventually stop moving.
I remember hitting a bump/potholes with a focus and I left part of the ball joint at a intersection in San Antonio lol. It was slinging grease all over my rims. My rav4 is making a loud thunk popping and rattling on certain roads turns and accelerating.
What does it mean when it constantly makes that noise without turning
I suspect a cv axle is bad in my car but it does it while going straight in addition to all the other symptoms you named
me too
Thank you. I suspected was the axle but you showing the sound helped.
Yup, that's the sound! Thanks man
Thank you this really helped me learn how to diagnose this issue better
Very clear explanation of the noise root cause, love it!
I enjoyed watching. I did notice grinding noise when turning and the wheel looks slanted and has a little play I think it’s the bearing. But could also be a bad cv axle. I appreciate your time.
Not sure. You may have to have a tech look at it.
Excellent vid best one for cv joints clicking by far. One of my passenger side cv boots had split, i ignores it and it lead to getting a new driveshaft. Not really dear though 61ukp for brand new driveshaft with 2 years guarantee for Z20LET engine. Its getting fitted in 1 day, Wednesday 17th February 2021 as the clicking is now terrible.
Thank you for this video. My steering is starting to make noises like this and I was curious as to the anatomy of it all to see what's really going on.
Most useful video I've watched!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, I think this is the problem that my Ford Fiesta is having
Thank you for this educational short video
My pleasure
Really helpful! I appreciate it man ! Changing mine this weekend !
Mine sounds like that when turning leftt or right. ALSO the car vibrates whenever I turn my ac on
This was very helpful and in depth. Thank you! New subscriber for sure.
My civic sounds exactly like this! Will need to get it checked out 🙏
I just have to say hallelujah praise GOD I have him and have all do you? Turn to the LORD and have all your work doesn’t go unnoticed amen hallelujah praise GOD!!!! GOD bless all!!!
Appreciated, helped diagnose the issue with my Skoda. 👍🏻
Great to hear!
Thanks for the informative video, it really educated me on that part of my vehicle.
Helped so much. Thank you
This really helped me understand what that noise is in my 2018 Ford Edge. Still under powertrain warrantee, I brought it into Ford dealership and they said my CV Boot is leaking, and they will replace it in 2 weeks after parts come in. They said that it is such a small leak, it will be ok for me to drive it to Key West Sunday, 500 miles each way. But I have been hearing this sound for a year or so. And how does he know how long it has been leaking? He didn't mention anything about the bearings, he said I just need my Boot replaced, but I do have that sound in my right drivers wheel when I turn. What do you or anyone else think? I believe it has been leaking for over a year. It has about 55,000 miles on it. Is it safe to drive? Update. I just went out and crawled under ant looked at the boots and axle. They all look clean and new and there is no grease splattered or leaking anywhere. The axle is not loose. The only thing is that when I make a sharp right turn, I hear 2 or 3 little pops
My fusion does this as I’m typing this, I’m about to replace both axles and the control arms ect
I usually hear popping sounds on my car when it is raining or when I pass through water.
So mine produce a loud clunk when I back up from the parking spot (turning big angle). Especially when it is cold outside
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for this great video. When I turn right I’m hearing this noise so not sure if it’s my left or right CV axel . What do you think ?
Great video with details! My Subaru Forester was making similar noises when turning at slow speeds. My mechanic said the axle needs to be replaced. My car was lifted 2" so I'm wondering if that could have caused the damage like this too?
It's possible. But I'm not a 100% on that. I see a lot of vehicles with 2" lifts and it doesn't hurt the vehicle a bit.
Great video, incredibly informative!!!
Thank you!
Thank you this helped me so much...
This did help me, thank you very much. God bless you.
Glad it helped
Great!
Double Thumps up👍👍
My orthopedist is a car guy. When I told him my knee popped like a bad CV joint he knew exactly what I was talking about.
Extremely helpful . I Don’t have to watch anything else
Thank you so much ✨
You’re welcome 😊
Definitely helped me out thank you very much!
It's that the driveshafts problem?
This is actually really helpful thanks mate
Thanks great demonstration
The video was very helpful and thank you a lot
Thanks for the video i just brought a car in just as u described in the video so i have to get it fixed
Thanks man really needed this
No problem
I was told my boot was torn but I didn’t think anything of it now after 5 months 😵💫 (I know) I’m hearing clicking for 2 days from passenger side . I’ve seen online that my car could stop driving or moving . I’ve ordered the part but now I’m nervous to drive anywhere . Should I be concerned after only two days of the sound?
I re-did my outer boots and added OEM Honda grease and after a few weeks click started, before it wasn’t there only torn boots, my guess is too much grease leaked out and joint got worn or I didn’t put enough grease but I used all that came with kit 😳
I always replace cv axles if the boots are busted, clicking or not. It was probably messed up before you put the boot on. Sometimes you can get lucky putting a boot on.
My car makes like a cklicking noise when coasting is that this coming from front end
Thanks for sharing.
your videos are great and down to the point THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like them!
Mine is making a lot of poping noise and I was worried that my front left tire is just gonna come off but good to know that I’m somewhat safe. Looks like it will hold for at least another week till I can afford to get it replaced
.....maybe it's safe. Did you have an inspection done?
Great video! Very informative.
Great 😃👍 👌💪 informative video brother 👌 thanks you have a new subscriber 😁
Thanks for the sub!
great video thank you!
Thank you so much for this video 🙏
So in other words, its expensive
Watch a million videos on it for your car ,get familiar with the process.
Buy the tools and parts needed
Grab some beer, invite a friend
And DIY
Save you a couple bills
Ok, I have a question. You said the noise is during acceleration. I have the opposite, same noise in this video but it's loud when there's not much or no load. When I'm downshifting / engine braking no noise and acceleration no noise. Note new bearings on driven wheels and new rotors and pads all the way around 90s acura cl
Here in seattle people freak out when they hear a clicking noise , something they have hardly ever heard before, but then they realize that they accidently turn there blinker on
The sound on mine is only if im driving in second gear specially louder if i am making a great turn.. steering on first gear when just starting has no sound
Just great, good job thanks
Thank you too!
I was stuck in deep sand in my FWD 4 cylinder van last month. Trying to get out I heard a few loud pops. I drove it home and now when the van has been parked for a while, when I first try to back out or drive off it makes a single popping noise, like a knuckles dislodging. After it makes the noise it does not make it again while driving.. i drove 300 miles stopping at countless intersections and it never made the noise until the following morning backing out of a parking space. Anybody got any ideas?
Is it more common for the front or rear to wear out on an all wheel drive Jeep? Im getting that clunking but its really hard to tell which ones its coming from.
Eric the car guys long lost brother
Love Eric the car guy! He's on a whole other level. I'll do what I can though.
Have the same exactly noise in My mercedes c250 2012 and I bring it to machine the told me it's differential I don't know what should I do 😔
I have a slight click coming from the front end but my axels are on the rear. It only does it when i turn my wheel to the left and reversing. It drives me nuts
This just happened to me (5-24-21) on my way to a doctor's appt ..I was driving, then stopped at red light. When the light changed, I accelerated, my car jerked, there was a loud knocking , grinding sound and my car only went 5 mph then stopped completely. I thought it was the transmission going out, so I was very upset. I had the car towed to my mechanic thinking I was going to have to get a new transmission on my old 2002 Toyota Camry which has 152,000 miles on it. My mechanic asked me to describe what happened and what it sounded like. He then looked under the car and said it wasn't the transmission; it was the CV joint. I was relieved. I was able tp pick up my repaired car the next day. However, my cv joint was so badly damaged, he said it was the hardest time he ever had with a car trying to get the old cv joint off, so the labor was a bit more than usual, also, I needed Freon , so my whole cost, parts and labor, was $547.00
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you ,subbed and liked ,well explained and good video
Thanks for the sub!
My issue is I replaced both sides and still heat knocking. I’m sure I pushed the axle in all the way.
This started to happen right after the shop replaced this now I'm waiting for them to open on Monday to make them fix it.. idk if the part was defective or what. But now I can't work all weekend
Good job!👍👍👍👍👍
Yep that's what I got on my Dodge Dakota right now among the Humming from Wheel Bearrings and when I jack up I put my hand 9-3 and can wiggle the tire so outer tie rod is done. I have to do it all???
Please uploadvideos about how to replace that..
Can't even hear the tick
Hay thank u but I have a question can it make kinda like sound like a old train on highway speeds????? Thanks for alsum video
Yep got that sounds
What if you've replaced it and it's still making the exact same noise but a little quieter
Hello my friend I have the same issue going on with my 2022 Ford transit connect that I just bought and it has five issues already. I was wondering if by any chance you would be kind enough I could send you some videos of my sound and you might be willing to take a look at them and concur. I want to personally thank you because I’ve been trying to find out what is wrong with my new van and it is making the exact same sound. Your video gave me hope LOL
Well, why don't you just take it to the dealership have have it diagnosed and repaired for free? Why bother with it? I'm assuming it's under warranty. Hard to believe your out of bumper to bumper. You can send a video if you like, but why go through all that head ache?
My 2012 Honda Odyssey also making the same noise like yours when I turn left and right. But only coming from the front passenger side, also, a small vibration when accelerates. Do you think this could be the axle or motor mounts?
the front rotors shakes when braking from high speed like 60 above. Does a bad rotors will cause turning noise or acceleration vibration? Thanks
Thank you for this making this video. Great job! Was the boot leaking or cracked at all? It's seem that it was a good boot before you cut it open. I have some noise also on the passenger side but the boot looks good and no leaks. So, I'm wondering if that axcel is my problem. Thanks again.
No, the boot was not cracked or leaking. Typically a joint will go bad because of lack of lubrication or from moisture and dirt getting in. Sometimes, like in the case with this axle in the video, they can go bad without any outward signs.
Yes it does help but my used car dealership are gonna charge me 425$ is that reasonable?
My 97 Celica has been doing this for years
I have an issue with 2007 tsx where when I'm braking and turning at low speeds I will get a clicking noise. Going through drive thrus is the worst with braking and accelerating multiple times plus going around the corners at slow speeds. Noise coming to a stop and letting off the brakes.
This seems to be a problem from the front right wheel. Also when the front right wheel hits a good bump at speeds it feels like it rattles a bit, sometimes the car will shake for a sec depending on the bump. But if I ever hit bumps on the left side of the car its still solid and doesnt really make much noise.
Could those issues be caused by this CV axle?
Edit: Also want to add that very rarely the steering wheel will become very shakey on some roads. Not sure what causes it as it's happened multiple times on the same road but never really any where else and this one road doesnt even appear to be worse than much of the other roads i drive on
Not sure what the cause of your symptoms are. Probably best to take it to a tech and have them diagnose it for you.
@@BarboursAutoHelp Yeah I'm bringing to family friend soon who's a mechanic, he's just busy atm. Just wanted to poke around and try and get some ideas of what it was
Thanks for reply
