My car has been making a grinding/clicking noise, almost like if you were to slide the seat back without lifting the arm all the way up when I accelerate into a left turn, most often when it is from a dead stop. I have thought it was the passenger seat, because I have always had problems with it, but it is happening more often, louder, and longer, and nobody else thinks its the seat. does anybody have any idea of what this could be. I want to take the seat out and look it over, but i have the airbag plugs under it, and i've already had to have it reset twice because i was messing with airbag stuff. thanks in advance.

Definantely a CV joint.

CV. You need a new axle. Get one with a lifetime warranty.

thanks, I'll check into that.

Don't buy new. Buy remanufactured, its like 25% less cheaper and usually has the lifetime warentee.

My favorite is Raxles. They're in Clearwater, FLA. They just sent me and a friend a custom set of axles that let us squeeze a 2.0L DOHC 4g63 in a 2100lb Mirage hatchback with Expo brakes/hubs. The car was $60, the engine was free, and the custom axles are the most expensive parts at $150 ea. They come with heavy-duty joints, and are packed with AMSOIL synthetic grease. Lifetime warranty. Got them to VA in 2 days from when we ordered them.

If you're racing, OE axles rule. If not, autozone rules.

Who makes the best, and the cheapest stage 1 or stage 2 axles?
