I hear a clicking from my right rear wheel that has the distinctive CV joint clicking sound. Looking at old (2000) posting to this group it appears that I would be better off buying a whole new/reman axel. The labor for installing the axle seems less than replacing just one CV joint, and it seems that only one of the two CV joints can be replaced. So, does it make more sense to replace the axle than try to replace one CV joint? If so do I need to replace the left and right axle (or is it recommended to do so)? Any good sources for and axle? And do I need the axle nut or any other non-reusable part? Thank you.
