Well I couldn't find it after I posted the 1st time...

I have a slight problem and any insight is greatly appreciated! I pulled into work and noticed a clicking noise coming from the back of the car... Not good I thought, Im thinking cv joint. Its quiet until around 2K rpms in 1st then over that its a nice loud clicking, and the same for 2nd and so on, different for on the gas and off the gas on it clicks off it doesn't... Now this was after a some what spirited take off from the stop light, but nothing I haven't done in the past, pedle to the floor just up to maybe 4k??

Does the clicking change with speed?
Does the clicking change with RPMs?

If you don't know when the last CV service was done, go ahead and do it.

quick check, look for tears in your cv boots, and pull vigorously on the halfshafts to feel for play.
