Clicking when turning, decelerating, braking from front left

[livelyjay]

I have a quick guess to my problem, but just wanted to throw it out there in case someone knows for sure. Commuting to work the past week I've noticed weird feedback through the steering wheel, almost like I threw a wheel weight. Tires were just put on and wheels were balanced 500 miles ago. All the weights appear to still be on the wheel. Yesterday I was decelerating, in gear, to a red light and I got a distinct click, click, click, click from the front left area of the drivetrain. The clicks got slower as the car slowed down. It's not all the time. I can feel/hear the clicking ever so slightly while driving and the steering wheel is slightly turned right. I also get a clunk when I turn the wheel from one lock to the other (when I get to the lock). Wheel bearings, from my experience tend to grind/crunch under brake and while turning, so I don't think it's that.

My guess is driver's side axle and I already ordered one since it will take a few days to get here. What do you guys think?

I agree clicking is usually a CV joint failing

which axle brand and part number?

i might gonna get new axles too


my front left are clicking only when light braking pressure are applied

i took the calipers down to check , its the metal plating behind the brake pad coming loose, i put some anti seize to absorb the vibration, and it seems to quiet down for now

gonna get some heat resist glue to glue it back on later.
