R53 04 mini cooper s
Hey guys I'm having a little trouble,
I recently replaced my driver side cv axle, pull ed the whole thing out and put a new one in. When I took it for a test drive this grinding/popping noise would come and then go get louder when I turn and stop and then come back,
I need help immediately on identifying the problem

One way I've always known to test your CV joints is to put the vehicle in a full lock turn on grass or gravel, and proceed slowly. A clicking sound meant new CVs on the way. You should be able to tell which side.

Just what we need, another stupid distraction on our phones. Has anyone ever tried to have a conversation with someone who can't tear themselves away from their stinking device? I have; it seems to be the norm. Or maybe I'm just completely boring.
