Default Ticking

Okay so this doesn't happen alot but it happens.... Sometimes on acceleration I will hear a ticking noise coming from the front wheels. It can't be the cv's I changed those about 4 months ago.... Any Ideas......

could be valves or the timing chain tensioner. Maybe the you got bad cv's to begin with. Check the boots for tears. Is it "clicking" or "ticking"?

are you sure its the front eh front wheels and not the engine comparment, things that go tick in audis are bad cv-joint (doubtful since you changed but still a possibility) noisy injectors and the hydraulic lifters. overall nothing to be worried about unless oyu get an oil light or you see a torn cv boot and grease everywhere.

I appreciate it yeah....It definitely sounds like the wheels.....I will recheck the boots tomorrow when I life it.....But overall the car performs the same it is just a tick.....

Thanks all
