Archived from groups: alt>autos>subaru (more info?)

Hello,

I just yesterday got my 93 Subaru Imprezza (front wheel drive) back
from my auto shop. It had been in for a few reasons. My starter was
failing, it made clicking noises when accelerating around turns, and it
was up for inspection.

They replaced the starter and my two front axles. The starter is
working fine but I have a new clicking noise when I have to accelerate
from stop either moderately to quickly. It sounds similar to the
clicking I had when going around turns prior to the replacement axles
but with a much deeper tone and even appearing when accelerating on
straight-aways.

I'm not much of a car person but I've done a little research. The
clicking I had before were bad outer CV joints I think. From what I'm
reading it's possible and even likely that my new noise is the result
of a bad inner CV joint. Does anyone have any insight or suggestions
of things I should check before I call back my shop?

Thanks.

I'm no expert, but bad CV joints are usually preceded by torn boots. I'd
give em a good look.
