I have had this clicking sounds coming from the front of the car when accelerating on turns and when i inspected for torn cv boots i found nothing except the fact that the drivers side had 5 times more grease spewed out underneath on to the metal bar. Does this mean theres a tear somewhere on the axle?

 

yes it does, it also means it will be shot soon. Time to replace

 

Clicking on turns while accelerating is a good indication the CV joint is bad and needs replacement. When a CV boot spews grease, and dirt gets into the joint, the joint wears very quickly. Most of the auto parts stores have complete half shaft assemblies available for under $100.

 

On rockauto Ive found axles as low as $35 but the OEM axle is listed at 260 for one side and 440 for the other..
Also for what reason does the boot tear up? Ive had bushings, ball joints, and shocks replaced lately so my suspension isnt that bad..

 

Usually the boots dry out, crack, and start to leak. If front chassis ride height is out of spec, it can stretch the boots and eventually they start to leak. What year is the vehicle? Is it a ZR2?

 

Its a 2001 4x4 LT model. I am not sure what ZR2 but I dont believe it is.

Also I've noticed the front two wheels are wider and streteched outwards compared to the back wheels but I heard that is normal..

 

Here is a pretty good reference for the difference between a regular and ZR2 model. And the front being wider than that back is normal.

 

Were you trying to add a link to "Here" because it didn't work.

Somewhere someone said that if its ZR2 it should be on the sticker on the firewall behind the engine. I just checked it and there wasnt anything on the sticker saying "ZR2".

Why does this matter anyway?

 

dont believe its a ZR2

 

How difficult is it to change out a CV axle?
