whenever i turn the sterring wheel usually to the left i can feel this slight clicking like the wheel is hitting something, its only at lower speeds tho.. the bumper is hanging maybe about 3/4 of an inch on the left side could this be causing the problem? thnaks

 

That sound could mean a CV joint is going, but you said the bumper is off on the left side, unless the tire is hitting the bumper, it's not going to make a sound. I would have the CV checked on the left side.

 

Ditto what Kellya4 said. If the clicking is not bad you might still be able to save it by repairing/rebuilding it.

its your control arms. mine does the exact, i mean exact same thing

 

deff. a CV shaft. im gettin mine fixed now. its gonna cost ya like 300-400 bucks depending on how much they are gonna charge for labor

 

ya its your CV joint, just gotta lube it up and put new rubber thingy...

 

i think i have the same problem, whenever i turn the wheel right and left, it makes like a winding noise, loud enough to heard from the outside, and you can feel slight vibration from the steering wheel, its the CV?

 

If it is just starting to make noise from only a small amount of play, you might be able to get away with just a boot kit(less than $25 at my store).

If you need the whole kit and kaboodle, CV joint and boot kit will set you back about $200(both inner and outer)

It is an easy DIY. All you need is basic tools, a good jack and jack stands. Leave the front wheels off the ground and replace them one side at a time so you have reference. Should not take more than 3 hours total for a beginner.
