Hi I sent message last week on cv or bearing problem.
thank you so much for the reply.
i replaced passenger side cv and wheel bearing. Noise was gone. Du to miles on car I proceeded to change drivers side cv and bearings.I replaced (two sets)of same manufacturer and both made popping noise right away. Parts store ordered from a different supplier. Today I replaced same side( drivers side).I drove the car for five miles, no problem. Testing with sharp turns left & right, all ok. As I backed out of a parking lot I heard one pop/buckle noise. Drove home
and found a open lot whwre I could drive in reverse sharp left and right. No noise. When it left lot and turned out, it made a pop once again. What the heck
is goin on. Is there anything other than the new cv half shaft that could be doing this? Could it be the new wheel bearing? Please reply.I'm ready to throw the towel in. I will gladly donate if a reply helps to fix this.

the new noise is coming from the drivers side as a loud pop on a sharp turn. Is the half shaft too short? Is it true that the correct length should be 20 7/16 inch? For this model?

If im hearing this right there was no problem with noise after the passanger side was hooked up?

Then you decided to do the driver side then the noise happened again?
