Since the noise is not constant yet. Plus the boots on the outer cv joints are not leaking. Remove the small clamp from the boot. Take something like a turkey baster and inject several ounces of oil. A plastic tube may help to inject the heavy oil. Once the noise is constant it usually is too late. New clamp and test it for awhile locally.


What I believe happens is at speed because of the lack of lubrication. The parts heat. As they expand they drag or stick. The click is the forced movement of the parts. I consider the cv joint shot when it becomes constant all the time. .For the effort expended to me it is worth trying. Of course seriously increased wear is occurring when they are too dry.


We have never had a member after doing this come back and claim it did not last or work if caught early. The boots have to be good of course. Personally I do not like or trust the Chinese replacements. They sell for as low as 49.00 a side. That means their wholesale price in China is probably less than 10.00. To expect any form of decent quality at those prices is pointless.
