[V6-12v] Steering noise

[Lt Kubosh]

Hi Limo,
this sounds like the "CV joint" farewell. If you hear something like "Click, click" (loud) in the low speed and hard turning. That's almost everytime it. 
It is not good idea to let it be, because while it break you'll be no more to drive till exchanged...
The bearing makes noise all the time.
New CV Joint is about $150 non original. Repair is easy to medium with proper tools. Just one pain is to get down the old CV Joint (it is locked on the axle by "C" spring. So one soft hammer punch over wood will "click" it down. 
It took me about 2 hours.
