First off, thanks for the info! Secondly, my axles are fine, it seems. I was convinced the sound was mechanical, or atleast coming from the axle, but I only heard to very shortly, because I was close to home when it happened, and when I heard it, I drove home and parked. Then two days later I decided to check how bad the noise was and when it happened (only turning left, only acceleration etc) - but when I then drove it, it sounded more like something was stuck in the tire, and indeed I had a rock lodged between the tire thread.
Now, it sounds silly, but it hasn't made a click since. But I can't shake the feeling how it did sound like a CV joint at first! I even had a full-time mechanic with in the car when the sound first occurred, and he agreed!
I had the TC and VSC off when I heard the noise though, and had them on again on the next drive, but that shouldn't matter right? All those do is act when the car is actually slipping/losing grip?
