does anyone know what might be the problem...i just put on ground control coilovers and in front i have stock shocks..in back i have kyb gr2..i also have bleeding axles on both fronts..prblem is "everytime i turn the wheel to the left..i hear a clicking like grinding sound coming from the inner axle boot or possibly the shock? only thing i did with stock shocks was took of the metal piece that was instructed..when i turn my wheel to the right now...i hear like a gas releasing sound..like shhhhhhhhheeee.. and it only occurs when i turn wheel to the right...dunno what it could be..only the outside axle boots are bleeding...anyone have this problem?

Yeah, i get the same kind of popping/clicking sound from my front left axle.....im pretty sure its my c/v joint though. Does anybody know how much it costs to fix the c/v joint? Also, will the replacement last long, becuase my cousin is a mechanic and sems to think that the best route to go is by replacing the axle, since theres a seam on the new c/v joint cover that will eventually rust......someone gimme some input on this.

i dont know exactly what to say, but i found the replacement joint bolt and axle assembly for about 90 bux per side...it was an online site, ...i will prob do that..i thought it was the bar on the shocks.....maybe not ..
I agree that a new axle is best. You can get one at autozone or whatever and it should cost less than 90$. And if you've got the extra cash, just go ahead and get a new axle for the other side too(although it's not needed),it might save you some trouble later.

Yea, a CV boot and axle are about the same price. And if your boot has been punctured for some reason you might as well replace the whole axle because if anything got in there then your axle is gonna blow out pretty soon.
