    So car clunks when I leave a stop sign. This happend 2 days after both CV axle were replaced. What can be the cause of this noise? I would hate to think the Axel went bad after one day. Any tests I can perform myself? I dont want to pay the diagnostic fee again unless I have too

    Do this right away. Sounds like they didn't get everything tightened. Have them check their work to make sure nothing falls apart.

    Hope you didn't use after market axles. Many reports of this exact issue using auto parts store axles. Junk.

    Probably did because the OEMS are expensive. For a reason.
