Front CV Axle Assembly
The Rzeppa-style outer CV joint uses ball bearings in a cage to transfer torque through steering angles. Wear in the internal race creates 'detents' where the balls stick and then release under rotation, resulting in the audible clicking. Replacing the full axle assembly is the industry-standard fix as the internal cage and bearings are typically non-serviceable once surface pitting occurs.

Tie Rod End Kit
Excessive clearance or 'slop' in the ball-and-socket joint of the tie rod can result in a single or repetitive click as the steering geometry shifts under load. While less rhythmic than a CV failure, the mechanical play allows the steering knuckle to vibrate against the hardware during lateral movement. This component is the primary link between the steering rack and the wheel hub.

CV Boot Repair Kit
If the clicking is in its nascent stage, it is often caused by grease contamination or loss due to a perforated bellows boot. Centrifugal force expels the molybdenum disulfide lubricant, allowing metal-on-metal friction and thermal expansion of the internal components. This kit provides the necessary seal and lubricant to restore the hydrodynamic film if the metal surfaces are not yet structurally compromised.
