I purchased a CV axle for right side. They gave me the wrong one I returned it. Then they gave me another one that looks like the one that I took out so I put it in I am starting to think it is the wrong one also. Even though it fit. Whenever I move the car and turn the wheel all the way to the right I get a grinding noise, or clinking noise. Did not even get car out of my driveway. Soon as I went to turn I heard the noise so I stopped and backed up. And I made a mistake by throwing the old one away it was no core charge on it.

That does not sound good. First thing would be to verify that what you are hearing is not something rubbing on the axle or possibly the brake backing plate rubbing the rotor or rim. Should be witness marks if it it something rubbing. Because it does it with the wheels turned that would be my first check. If it was doing it all the time I would suspect the axle.
If you step on the brake and gas at the same time with it in gear do you hear anything? That would show you if it was something like the wrong splines or not seated fully as it would grind.

You might be surprised, I have hit those lovely tin shields more than once and suddenly had a screeching reminder. Also had ones come in grinding like crazy after a repair and discovered sockets or "that missing bolt" had got into a bad spot. My favorite was one that the owner said started grinding real bad out of the blue. Seems a squirrel or chipmunk had decided the nice warm brake rotor area was a good place to store nuts!

Hey Steve, thanks for reaching out. My friend I did have an opportunity to put it in gear and put my foot on the gas and break it seems fine it just wants to take off. I did not hear any knocking so I am thinking like you said before it is not the axle. I have not had a chance to get tire off. I will do it Monday if the weather is nice. I am off Monday and I reach out to you. Thank you. Kenny

Hey my friends, hope all is well I am thinking is a bolt loose, or we did not put something back in place correctly. I am looking to order some struts and springs for the front so I could do everything at once. I am having a hard time finding some for my vehicle. Any suggestions? I plan to get everything done by Saturday October 6th.

They might, unless this has the computerized ride control, those are a dealer only item unless you remove the entire system. You will also want the actual build date, chassis number and ride option. Jags are very touchy when it comes to suspension parts. Be sure you do not replace the springs unless they are the exact factory part, the struts are a bit easier if it has the soft ride without computer control. The sport option is a bit harder to get the correct struts.
