I was thinking of you today. I had an Audi A6 with a clicking noise in the front end today. The last mechanic said he needed an axle and CV joint, 1200 bucks. I drove it and did hear a ticking when turning left, but not the type of noise a CV joint would make. I took it back to the shop, lifted it, spun the tire and heard it again.
To make a long story short, the repair cost ten dollars. The tab on the center cap of the wheel was bent the last time tires were put on it allowing it to make a ticking sound. Wow! The guy was happy. I thoght he was going to try to kiss me. (LOL)
I know times are tough right now and every penny counts. Let me know what they tell you and I'll try to help you with questions or concerns.
