Symptoms:Front Driver's wheel
Slow left HARD turns - click tick tick click
Slow - straight, slowing to stop. rub rub rub - metal sound.
Sound like a CV joint? If so, what parts exactly are needed to replace? (1) CV Joint; (2) CV Joint Spacer; (3) Retaining Plate - (4) All?

Thanks guys - you NEVER let me down!

Jude
These are the same symptoms my wheel bearings made when they went bad. Jack up that wheel and give it a few tugs to see if there is any play. This would be a much cheaper fix than a cv. I think it is also covered in the tech section.

Good luck!
Brent

Check your steering rod and panhard rod bushings too. There's a ton of things that can click-tick and clunk in the front end. The shock bushings can cause these sounds too if they are not installed properly or went loose on you. Good luck!
