Okay, it was making a noise hard to describe the noise really only does it at low speed. I have replaced both the struts on the drivers side and passenger side thinking struts was the problem I was having. okay, when I replaced the struts the noise got lower and not as loud as before I replaced them. it don't pop and click when I turn it doesn't click kinda like a small pop when I'm going slow when I speed up. I don't hear it.

Hi,

Do you hear a clicking only when turning at slow speeds? Is there anything that changes the sound when you hear it? For example, if you press the brakes does it stop or if you press the throttle, does it get louder? When you replaced the struts, were all steering and suspension components checked such as ball joints, tie rods, stabilizer links / bushings, and so on?

Take a look through these links. They are about a CV joint, symptoms of a bad one, and in general how one is replaced. I'm adding this to see if anything under the symptoms link seem to mirror what you experience.

Let me know if the symptoms seem the same as what you experience. Also, if it is possible to record it and upload it for me to hear, it may be really helpful.

Take care and I'll watch for your reply.
