Was it just the shaft or was it an axle shaft assembly complete with inboard and outboard CV joints? Seems odd that a metal bar would make a sound especially when CV joints are known for making a clicking sound when starting to fail. I suppose though that the point where the axle gets attached to a CV joint could wear?
Clicking noise in front end - FIXED
I had been developing a bad case of a low speed clicking noise in the front end when stopping and starting. Searching the forum turned up a few owners with similar noise, but the causes seemed to be varied.
It finally got so bad that I took it to the dealer - first problem trip to dealer in three years. Service tech found a bad right side axle shaft. I'm puzzled as to how a shaft alone could make such a noise, as I was expecting it to be a bearing or CV joint problem. Took a couple days to get the parts, but dealer gave me a loaner so I was pretty pleased. Now my 2013 drives quieter than ever.
Has anyone else had to have an axle shaft replaced?
