Dear Lurker,Cv axel noises do come and go for awhile.In cold weather, the
grease gets stiff,and the click,louder.Comes a time when you may have to
pullover and walk or risk ripping the axel from the trans.I did my axels in
20 degree weather the first time,so we are kin.I saw god in the cold while
on my back, on the pavement ,outside,that day.Check for a cv axel post,in
the archives under my name  for the trick to simple installation. I used a
pep boy and  advance auto parts  rebuilt axel for about 25 K without
problems,so far.$100 each w/grease.If you cant find the post I wrote,let me
know ,grasshopper.

 Signed,Still frozen after all these repairs
