    So I need help figuring out this clicking sound. When I make left turns its louder. Sometimes when I make right turns. Sometimes not at all. https://youtu.be/ExKbox9yMc4

    So should I just replace both from axles. has anybody used aftermarket. I don't want to spend them money on OEM axles if I don't have to.

    You say it started immediately after installing the transmission mount. Before throwing money at parts, why not replace the 034 mount with the stock mount first?

    I all ready tried swaping stock back in. The sound was actually much louder.

    That would suggest the noise has nothing to do with the CV joints. Sorry, the video doesn't offer any clues. It's odd that it seems to be related to the mount change.

    That's what I'm thinking. Sorry the video wasn't any help. I will try to get a better one. Any other suggestions on what to look at. I was told it could be binding in the sway bar end links. So I ordered the moogs earlier today. But when I turn lock to lock there is none of the sound. Which IMO would rule out the end links. It only does it when moving.

    I would really avoid randomly swapping out parts until you get closer to determining the cause. I doubt it's the sway bar links. Squeaking going over uneven roads/bumps yes, but clicking sounds...no.

    Yeah I can I'm doing new rotors and pads this weekend so it should be pretty easy to inspect with all of that out of the way. Thanks again for all of your help
