The Sound Of A Popping Or Clicking CV Axle When Turning While Accelerating And What Causes It

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.

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:

Here is a video explaining how a worn inner joint of a CV axle can cause a vibration on acceleration:
