Clicks when turn sharp. CV joint?

Just fixed the bad wheel bearing and a bad ball join on the passenger side. Now the only noise left is the clicks sound when I make sharp turn. Regular turns are normal. CV boots are good. What is wrong?

Probably the CV joint. Replace the half-shaft, especially if the wheel bearing had failed so that it was "wobbly".

Yep clicking on a sharp turn is CV joint 101 symptom, almost certainly that is what it is.

Could also be caused by partially unseating the joint while working on the bearing/ball joint.

Either way, replacement of the half shaft is the cure.
