My car: 1998 Chevy Cavalier with around 110,000 miles
I need a second opinion on a problem I am having with the car. Lately when I turn the wheel to the right it makes a very odd noise. The noise is like a clicking mixed with a stretching noise. It's hard for me to describe the noise. It only happens when I am turning the wheel right. It will stop when the wheel is turned hard right. It does it if I'm reversing and if I am driving forward. I only seem to notice it if I am driving slow. There is no noise if I turn the wheel to the left. I'm thinking that it's the outboard CV joints but I wasn't sure because of the fact that it only does it when I'm turning the wheel to the right.
I'm not sure if this is relevant but the brake pads have been changed, the rotors were turned, and I just got new tires put on the car. I know it's not the fluid because I've had it checked. Could it be the CV joint and if so what do you estimate as the cost of repairs? Any other suggestions as to what could be causing this are welcome.
TIA
