This was happening to my car, but not when I turned. When I rolled out of the drive way, turned right, and went straight, the passenger CV would make a loud pop.

I got under the car, and the boot was torn, and all the grease was gone.

Went to Advanced Auto Parts, got an axle for $60, and brought mine back for the $35 core. $25 axles FTW!!

Mine has been fine, and I even went to the drag strip on Wednesday night.. clutch dumps, 30' burnouts, and wheel hops.. still good.

i recently replaced my axles (may have been auto zone, advance auto whatever) and i just got the factory equiv., i have a tendency to not be nice to my car and after a couple months had clicking noises myself, i obviously took it back and got a free replacement and of course it was my driving that did it, but i would recommend getting and upgrade. I personally also recommend new over reman'd.

yeah my car handles perfectly now, oh and i know its something simple, but tire pressure can make cars sway a different direction.
