axle clicking...
anyone that's experienced this...when your axle breaks, give me your best description, when does it occur, etc.
i think i may have snapped my drivers side, but im not sure. and rather than take the whole bastard apart, i wanna know for sure.

if you broke/snapped/cracked your axle your wheel would be shaking and it would be hard to drive above a certain speed
i know cuz i broke one, then while driving on it to get it fixed (45mph on freeway
) i snapped the other one as well
if it clicks on turns especially U-turns its probably the cv boot
