Strange clicking noise during acceleration?
Anyone know what might be causing this? It's for sure coming from the left driver's side and it happens when im cruising or going pretty slowly and accelerate a tiny bit harder than usual.. It sounds like a clicking/chirping noise, nothing loud but noticeable

Get under your car and look to where the axle connects to the wheel (hub). There will be a black boot. Inside that boot is a C.V. joint. That joint will dry out if there is a tear in the boot because all of the grease will leak out. The C.V. joint can also dry out and go bad even if there is no rip in the boot though...
If there is a "clicking" noise when you turn or accelerate, 99% of the time it is the C.V. joint.

Make sure your lugnuts are tight too. You can also try jacking up the wheel and turning it by hand and check for any binding when you turn it. Also try turning it with the steering wheel turned all the way to the right and left as it will probably make more noise then.
