hi i have a 92 honda fourtrax 4x4 its not in the prettiest of shape but its still in good shape, i was riding last weekend through swamps and rough terrain and the fourwheeler was fine when i parked it i went and got it out 2 days later and all of a sudden when i turn there is a clunking/clicking noise coming from the front right side, the clamp came off with the rubber book down at the wheel but the boot was still on i greesed inside it and everything but it didnt help it just keeps clunking, does anyone know where i could start looking at to fix this problem? thanks i appreciate it.

You're there. It's probably the CV joint. You can get a whole new axle for probably around $100, or you can replace the joint, but it's probably not worth the trouble.

sorry if i sound stupid but what does CV mean? and when you say not worth the trouble do you think i should just keep running it like it is?

what pain meant was..in stead of trying to fix the cv joint..and yeah..it's a real pain to fix...he meant just buy a whole new cv joint and replace it with the bad one..they just pop right out of the front differental..if you have never done one before..i say just buy a new front right cv joint axle..so much easier to do..than try to fix your busted cv joint..and if it's on a certain end of it..they can't be fixed..you have to replace it anyway...sooo..buy a new one..save you about 2 hours of cus words..lol...oh..don't keep running it with the busted one in it..or your going to tear up alot of stuff in that side if you do.
