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?
Well you should stated that from the get go.
Corolla eh?

Well, if you take it to a dealer yeah your looking about $500.
Any other shop would do that for about $300.

If you have tools and a place to work at you could do it yourself for $150 depending where you get your axles. YouTube it. It's not that hard. Lift car drain tranny, take wheel off, brake axle nut off, have a meltdown trying to get it off along with the axle. That's pretty much it.

You can save even more if you get them rebuilt from a tranny/axle shop for about $100 or less. That if you take the axle to them.
