Consumer Description

AROUND 57,900 MILES, A CLICKING SOUND APPEARED WHENEVER THE WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT MORE THAN HALF WAY. THE SOUND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. THE SOUND ONLY OCCURRED IN LEFT TURNS AND THE SOUND CAME FROM THE RIGHT FRONT. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED BEARING IN THE RIGHT CV SHAFT. REPLACEMENT OF THE SHAFT COST $600. ACCORDING TO THE SHOP, THIS IS AN UNUSUAL FAILURE FOR A CAR OF THIS MILEAGE.
