I recently checked my mothers car and noticed the cv boots were torn and she has been complaining that when she turns it makes a clicking noise. I heard the noise and its a fast clicking only when turning. Will she have to replace the axles now or what do you think is going on?

HI there,

The CV joints are noisy due to the lack of lubrication, often they are beyond re greasing and rebooting, so i would go for a set of change over drive shafts, or even just the one of that is all that is causing the noise.
