CV Joint buggered ?
so when im turning the car there is a pretty loud clicking noise coming from the passengers side at the front . is this a sign that the cv joint is buggered ? if so what parts would i need to buy in order to replace (im in no way a mechanic but would try it myself) and also where in your opinion would be the cheapest place to get the parts ?
cheers.

The culprit should be easily identified by a split boot with the grease coming out. If neither is split than one should exhibit bearing damage. Repack the one that does not need joint replacement.

They are a piece of **** mate as long as ur strut bolts have been off at some point they can be quite tight use a breaker bar to help with that all u need to buy are a driveshaft roll pin and a new hub nut make sure u loosen the hub nut with the car on the ground as same with wheel bolts then jack the car up take wheel off then take the calliper and disc off two 17mm nuts tie the brake calliper to the strut so u dnt stress the brake line then undo the two strut bolts pull the strut and hub apart tap the roll pin out on the inner cv joint this only goes in one way and out one way so keep note then pull the shaft off the gearbox spline then pull out the hub refit in the reverse simple as that also tip take brake reservoir cap off to release pressure on the brake pads to get them off the disc use clamps to press them in when refitting to the disc then when all back together put cap bk on and depress the brake pedel a few times till hard again sorted
As said though I had a clicking sound come from my front end and mine was a bearing problem not greased properly so it's a bit of process by elimination in my case
