NEED HELP ASAP!!!!
 

Looking into buying a 1992 Mazda Protege, 1.8L Auto 130K miles

Question is, it makes a Front-end noise when it makes right turns....what is this?

CV Boot?
Half Axle?

RE: NEED HELP ASAP!!!!
 

What kind of noise?? A clicking type noise only on right turns is a good indication of failing left outer cv joint. Look to see if the boot is torn open and spraying grease all over the place

RE: NEED HELP ASAP!!!!
 

Yep, a clicking noise...

I kno it's hard to tell, but how big of a job is this?

RE: NEED HELP ASAP!!!!
 

Listed labor time for a shop to replace is around 1 hour. Fairly easy job to do. Remove both bolts between the strut and steering knuckle assembly, remove outer axle stake nut, drive axle out of steering knuckle/hub, pop axle out of transmission and install a remaned axle. The axles do sometimes really stick in the hubs and can sometimes be difficult to remove from transmission as access is somewhat limited.

so just by hearing that noise, do you think it would be worth $250? everything else is in good condition

RE: NEED HELP ASAP!!!!
 

buying it for 250?
if so yeah slap a new cv joint in and sell it for 999 make a profit.
or if you want to pimp it out I can help you along those lines.
