'96 850 Turbo still clicking after axle replacement 850

I just finished replacing the driveaxles on my '96 850 turbo (Raxles brand) but still have clicking in tight turns and maneuvering around parking lots. This is multiple clicks, not just a single click as described by so many with suspension problems. The car has 105,000 miles. Any suggestions?

    May be the wheel bearing but the mileage is kinda low. I believe if it clicks when turning right then it's the right wheel.

    Scott,

    Does it click only when you have the steering wheel maxed out? It may be the CV joints are shot.

      Andy, I don't have the steering wheel maxed but it usually only happens in tight turns. I just replaced the driveshafts and CV joints. I was disappointed that this didn't solve the problem. I broke two socket wrenches trying to remove the driveshaft nut- ended up purchasing an electric impact wrench to do the job. Oh well, with 105,000 miles, I guess they would have needed replacing soon anyway.
      Thanks for the response.
      Scott
