When turning corners heard clicking noises around turns so had the cv joints looked at. got a good quote from les schwab and had the repairs ready in a week well my van did not hold up for it. making a U turn and very loud clicking and just started grinding and had it towed home and waited for the repair day and had it towed to les schwab and they kep it for about a half of a day and called me back to say it was not the cv joints its the transmission gears but there not sure now where did i go wrong here
also to note the vehicle was not able to move in park after the repairs were suppose to be done it now rolls in park i believe they tryed to drive it after i told them the cv joint are shot ........................

Hi there,

One would suspect that the CV's were faulty, but if they are ok, the problem could be the diff spider gears, as thay are turning at unequal speeds on turning ad if one had a broken tooth you could easily get a clicking noise. As for the problem with park... I suspect that Park was selected while it was moving and the locking pawl has been broken.
