Hi all,

I know our cars are starting to get on a bit, mine will be 10yrs old in september. It's just ticked over 107,000kms and I am 70% certain that the inner CV joint on the drivers side is on it's way out. It started with what felt like a grinding in the steering under tightish left turns while accelerating, then it started with and intermittent clicking/ticking while driving. This happened not only while turning but also going straight. It gets faster in it's frequency as the wheels turn faster.

Is this to be expected at this age/time? I know my car came from Queensland and saw a bit of dirt road driving which I know leads things to fail quicker, but I wouldn't have expected the inner CV to go before the outter.....Oh, i checked for play in them all and the inner had a tiny click in it whereas the others didn't.
