I am hearing a clicking sound when I turn sharply.
Can you give me an idea what it is and how much it would cost to fix ( ball park)?

Hi there,

This may be a faulty CV, dose it click continually when driving on lock, one way only or both, let me know as this will aide in the diagnosis.

In answer to your question; Yes, it clicks continuously when turning either way, however, it is sharp turns. By the way it is getting worse! Is the car going to break while I am driving it? I have a paper route and use it nightly. I plan to have it fixed in two weeks when I can afford it. Thanks for being such a big help!

Hi there,

If it will fail in the short term is impossible to tell, but be aware that if it dose fail you will be stranded, failure rates are normally not that high they tend to hang in there for some time.
