yeah so now the rolla has decided that it wants to lose a berring.
at least i think thats it, when ever i make a turn to the left under power the front passenger side wheel make a horrid clicking noise, i wiggled the tire and the entire assembly moved and all the lugs are tight.....axle or berring?

Sounds like your CV axle is worn out. But if the entire wheel assy is moving you may have other problems (control arm, strut) test it again, looking for movement at mounting points and such. If you have a broken suspension part that could be causing the axle shaft noise.

yeah that what i was thinking, cause the axle is nearly brand new. a few weeks ago i discovered that when i put the new axle on last time....i..heh...forgot to tighten thecastle nut all the way, and that was causeing the noise before, now its doing it again and a mechanic says that the slop from before could have seriously damaged the berring and or the entire hub
