This causes the left tire to skid across the pavement and the right cv join to click. It is as if the vehicle over steers causing the cv shafts to bind yet I never had this problem before I changed the cv shaft.
I can think of no reason why you should have this trouble.
The drive shaft assembly is generally made up of an outer constant velocity joint, a shaft and an inner plunge type cv joint - your description doesn't make it completely clear what it is you replaced. Replacing the cv shaft suggests you could have replaced the shaft and outer joint, the outer joint or the complete assembly.
There are alternative types of joints that could be used - the Hardy Spicer type for instance, which must be "timed" with it's opposite number at the other end of the shaft in order to eliminate an output speed variation when transmitting torque at an angle, perhaps the problem you are experiencing.
That is the only idea that occurs to me apart from the possibility the abs system might have developed a fault...
SOURCE: Steering Binding
Hello Goldwinger.
Yes it could be an axle, It could also be the strut tower The strut bearing is on top of your strut and could be a problem I have seen it before and also the Axle do that, I don't think it would be the steering rack because I think it would do that either way you turn the steering wheel. I would stick with your first thought. Axle, sure sounds like an axle, The Clicking is usually the First indication of that. So I would take it out and check it or just replace it and I think that will solve your problem. If not get back to me and when I get in from the Shop I will check back here and see if you got it or not. Thanks Goldwinger and hope that helps you out some what. Bear001
look at the plastic coupler that holds the shaft down to the gear
SOURCE: Moving steering wheel left or right causes a clonking noise - Could it be drive shafts?
Most likely the problem is either the tie rid ends or the ball joints, my opion is not drive the car until fixed, I have had both break while I was driving and not something to experience, luckly both my issues were at low speeds.To check a ball joint problem jack the car so the wheel spins freely, take both your hands and place one on top of tire an the other on the bottom of the tire and wiggle the tire ,make sure you try to move the wheel towards you NOT side to side (up and down) if any mmovement then it is the ball joint.
The tie rod is a little more work how I check is to disconneck the tie rod which consist of remove the cotter key from the bottom of the nut holging the tie rod unscrew the nut pop the tie rod out of the socket and check for mobement if there is movement then tie rod must be replaced, warning any time you replace a tie rod you must then get the car allined.
