MTLEADER Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Whenever I turn the steering wheel in my car there is a ticking sound. I went and had the car inspected where I normally do and I was told it is because my brake pads are " Cracked". I have never had an issue with the place that looked at my car, so I looked at the pads myself today and it does look like there is a crack going the full length of the pads on my driver side, and that is where the sound is coming from. I figured it was a CV axel but I have no leaks from any of the boots on my suspension. So could this really be the cause or do I need to look someplace else? Also just noticed on the driver side front tire the inner sidewall is scored bad may be that it was under inflated cause I don't see anything that it was rubbing on .

drolds1 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 How many miles on your car? CV joints can wear out, like anything else. The boots don't necessarily have to be leaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTLEADER Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Around 63k miles. I'm going to change the brake pads in the morning and then put latex paint on the inner sidewall of the driver side tire, drive it out my driveway and back in to see what has paint on it from rubbing so I can see if it can be fixed too. This is the only idea I really have to figure the problem out. I have tried all the things it has said to do on youtube to test the front end and the CV axel's and they all seem fine according to the " Tests". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
