Issue with 3 month old cv axel

[MarkBlack]

I have a 1997 4runner I just took it offroading and now I'm noticing some clicking in my CV axel. Im not sure its the CV axel, because its only 3 months old. But im feeling clicking when I drive straight and turning, The boots aren't ripped, and I have like a 1-inch lift with icon extended coil overs, and ALl Pro UCA's is there any way to diagnose if its the CV axel. ** i didnt install my dif dropp.

CarQuest CV Axel they come with a lifetime warranty.

I am not entirely convinced its the axel though. It just seems odd. It feels like it clicks, and the only thing I've read is about the CV axel clicking.

Carquest... it could be the cv joint. Especially if they were rebuilt. Chain auto parts pieces are sadly mostly bad quality.

There is no easy answer. it could be the cv or something else. Jack up the front end get under it and try and recreate the sound, check that ball joints upper and lower are not loose also the upper control arms not loose, sway bar bushings, cam bolts, tie rod ends, drive shaft has no play, cardan joints are greased, the resonator not lose transmission.mounts good etc. Stick a pry bar under the tire move it up and down. you have done a lot of work on the suspension so double checking to see everything is good and tight might be in order.If the CVs are bad good thing you have a lifetime warranty

Thank you! This is what I needed to hear! I wasn't sure what the other problems could be. I appreciate it!
