Default Clicking noise when turning sharply . . .

I would imagine its a CV joint going - what rear joint is prone to fail?

It's ann escort cosworth and what should I do to test? Remove shafts and see which one is binding up?

No rush here, getting the whole car painted tomorrow and it'll take a week or so.

Cheers!

Is it lowered?
Check gaiters aren't perished.
Check for cv grease if it's got any that is.

The rear joints tend to dry out and get noisey.

We always packed all the cv joints and lobros with a mix of graphite grease and ep90 gear oil. This stops the grease from "settling" after getting hot and drying up the top half of the joint after the car has been left for a while, Also stops the inital vibration problems
