Default I think it's axle time.....

I've just discovered a nice "clicking" when making really sharp turns. Besides getting raped by the dealer, anyone know if I can throw some camry axles in there? LOL

try tightening your lug nuts first. I had the same thing happen to me on my xB after i installed the springs because after you take the wheels off and reinstall them after about 100 miles or so you need to go back over and retighten all the lug nuts or you will have that annoying ticking sound. Try it, if it doesnt work, than take it to the dealership.

How sharp of and turn and at what speed? I find it hard to belive that the cars suspension already has problems?

Have you taken it in for a diagnostic...thats the 1st thing I'd do..hell its covered under warranty...might as well...

Not the suspension, the cv axles. I was just hessitant on going to the dealer because I'm sure they will try to throw some "drag racing" b.s. my way.

cv axles should last pretty long. check out the cv boots to see if there are any visible rips. if the boots do not have anymore grease left, take it to the dealership A.S.A.P.
