CV Axle clicking...

So.... I'm fairly positive that my drivers side axle is going bad. I chose to take her to a shop and just get it handled. Well that was a mistake, they couldn't recreate the noise and had multiple techs trying to listen for it. They did of course find multiple other issues.

One being my waterpump leaking from the weep hole, I can believe that, also they found my upper ball joints leaking (SPC) and told me they are bad (not surprised about that either) then they tried to get me for a steering gear.

Anyway, so I drove to the shop to discus these issues in person. I had to explain that the ball joints are replaceable and that they haven't even addressed my concern about the CV axle. So they reassembled it and tried to find the consistent clicking sound I'm hearing while making a hard right turn. They couldn't find it and wanted me to come in and go for a ride with the tech.
Instead I went in and paid what I owed ($199 for diagnosis) told them I'll just take it home and figure it out my self. As I left the parking lot, Click, Click, Click. I was pretty upset to say the least. I even made a video and sent it to them but I got no response.

That was my day.

 

Took my car in for a high pressure steering pump hose replacement. With a replacement hose in the trunk. I got my car back with a "we can't figure it out, it's the wrong part, btw water pump leaking, oil pan and front crankshaft seal is leaking. That was it. I'm a 1/4 of the way into a timing belt change.

 

You just can't get good help these days.

 

Sure can't..
