188,000 original miles. Don't they call these half-shafts? How much for one of these babies and are they interchangeable from right to left?

last visit: Sat Nov 21 15:16 CST 2009[RELATED]I'd say you're doing alright at 188K. At 185K both of mine have been replaced but for split rubber boots, not for making noise.
They are not interchangable left to right. I purposefully skirted the issue of how to determine which side is worn because i don't know how to tell...
The right one is longer, having an intermediate shaft with a bearing. I've bought them from FCP Groton, Napa, and Advance Auto. All were "Made in China". It was clear to me that none of the three were quite the quality of the OEM part. The FCP one was obviously low quality and failed me a week after install. The Napa one looked the best but was more expensive at something like $130. The Advance Auto part cost all of $70 and looked just fine. My biggest issue with it was the nut on the wheel end was a different size, requiring that I go out and buy another socket. I don't think I'll ever have to redeem the "lifetime warranty" on either of them.

last visit: Tue Aug 4 10:04 CST 2009[RELATED]Outer CV joint if you only hear it while you are turning a certain direction. My sway bar end link also made that noise but it wasn't a constant clicking. Check and see if there is grease on the inside of the fender, maybe your CV boot has been broken a long time and the joint is going bad.
