Is it safe to say that my CV axel is bad?

change the gearbox is the only answer ,ask a local mechanic to confirm faul
t first in case it is a inner CV joint

It's not worth it to fix the axel, it is wise to replace the axels
by jacking up the car secure the car with jack stands, then remove the wheels, the big center nut of the axel and the lower bolts on the ball joint, then pry the lower control arm down and pull the hubb aside. Now u could remove the axel easily, if stuck take a hammer and tap it lightly, remove it, replace with the new but make sure both ends r lubed with grease.

when did it make the clicking. was it when turning sharp, if not it is another issue

Sounds like it could be worn cv joint assenbly which is the axle.

Have an alignment shop look over you car and give you an estimate for repairs. Sounds like you are correct about the bad CV joint and it could fail causing an accident. Be safe!

just remove the tire and hub. then it should slide out

Since this is front wheel drive I have to say yes. You have a bad CV joint. That clicking sound is typically a bad CV joint or one that was improperly installed. Take it back to mechanic that did the work and make him do it correctly.

that is usually caused by bad engine mount this condition usually changes the distance of the cv joint and the differential which cause the cv joint to shake. also check your ball joints.

Thermostats usually connect to another hose so you should be able to replace it. Just go to autoaone they should have whatever you need.

Do you know if this car has ever been recked? if your going thru that many axels makes me think something is not running true, a wheel bearing would not make a cv joint in a axel go bad. Did you replace the axels? or did you have them done at a shop, and did you see the old axels after they were replaced. You got bigger problems than a wheel bearing. From what i can gather some thing is bent or your getting bunch of bad axels witch i dought.
