    94 Accord wagon.

    Clicking noise when turning left.

    Is this sign of a CV joint going bad on one of the transaxles?

    Expert friend says clicking when turning left only does not
    necessarily indicate which tansaxle is going bad.

    My son says replace both transaxles.

    I've replaced a 90 Civic axle and have the Accord factory manual.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Have friend ride with you.

    Go to quiet parking lot.
    Roll both front windows down.
    Turn steering wheel full lock one way & do a few slow donuts.
    Turn wheel full lock the other way, repeat donuts.

    Which side is louder? That's the bad side.


    Never a bad idea, except for the cost.

    "transaxle" is used to describe the combined transmission/final drive
    yoou have on the honda - the expensive bit bolted to the engine. the
    clicking bits are the drive shafts, and those are comparatively cheap.
    you say you've do that job before, so you can do it again here!
