Clicking from Right Wheel While Accelerating through a Right Turn

Mar 18, 2008 1 Replies

(Thanks to the group for a crusise control answer - I'll report back - now a question I may be afraid to hear the answer to)



My 99 A6 2.8 has begun to make a noise in the right wheel. When I use the gas in a right hand turn, there is a clicking noise coming fromn the right wheel area. It seems to be tied to how much accelator I use. ( I'm guessing probably in the range of 4-8 clicks per second )



I can drive straight and not hear it. I can coast through a right turn, and not hear it. If I hit the gas in a right turn, I DO hear it.



I have some ideas, but I think they may all be pretty expen$ive.



Looking fwd to your comments...

You have a failing CV joint.

Get a re-manufactured axle and replace. This is not to difficult or expensive of a job at a reliable Audi independent shop.

As long as you are doing it you should take the opportunity to replace the front wheel bearings. they tend to go bad over 100K.
