Default Clicking noise from during low speeds?

Hi gang i was hoping you might have a similar experience and know what the problem is. When i put the car in first and turn the wheel while moving very slow i get a click, click noise coming from the left front tire. What do you think that could be?

Could it be the CV joints and how much are they to replace if it is?

it is your cv joint, for sure....you have a few though, outers and inners for each side...i think the outers are more likely to fail than the inners....they are about 150 each, including installation, at a mechanic....

Agree. Probably CV joint...most likely outer. Don't bother replacing the CV joint. Replace the entire halfshaft assembly (both joints). Replacement halfshaft is around $150 with core charge..with labor and core refund whole bill should come out to about $170 plus cost for alignment.
