I have a 1998 monte carlo.When moving at 10mph or more around a right turn/curve I get a clicking noise.Anyone have an idea what it may be? or where i should start looking? Thank for any help you may give.

One of the CV axles needs to be replaced.

Well you have to take your brake caliper off and undo you upper ball joint so it tilts out far enough so you can push the cv axle out of the hub. I forgot if ya have to remove the rotor or not but you will need a big socket for the cv axle nut i know for sure and possibly a hammer and some spray penetrant, needle nose pliers, another socket n a torx bit or allen wrench i believe for the caliper bolts.
