damnit. yeah I had the same sound from my Mazda 626. I ignored it for a day then one day the axle broke during rush hour traffic lol.

how much do you think it would cost to fix a cv joint? I'm guessing parts and labour would be about $500?
not a chance my friend. its a 2010 corolla big dog. my 03 tiburon was around 100-150$ for cv axle and 100-150$ to get it changed. Under 300$ easy if you do this. No idea where u are but heres what i suggest. Find you a good ole boy shop. The one with the really old guys chilling in the shop decks in chairs with one young guy (this guy is usually a grandson or family friend and does all the manual labor) usually helps if the young guy has a fat wad of dip in and the old guys are smokin a cig. Roll the window down you dont even need gps to find the shop you need. Keep an ear out for song "The Ride" by david allan coe. Find this shop and ur set.

-get your axle from autozone they have a lifetime warranty or something stupid like that so next time it fails or starts clicking just throw it at them and get a new one for free. It pays for itself within a few years.

If you decide to do it my way. heres how to find the shop...
