until it starts vibrating." This is what someone told my wife,
about the same symptoms on our 1983 5kt sedan - clicking
noise in wheel when making turns, so she kept driving the car
while I was out of town.  A few days later she called me
to say that some steel balls rolled out on the road as she
came to a stop.  She had the car towed, and CV joint
replaced.  Luckly she did not get hurt.  Get the repair done
before there is a bad accident.
