[8)]Had both front axles replaced today at the dealer under warranty.....so far so good. I did find out from the parts guy that they have been having a lot of problems with the axles on the turbo model only. Up until a few weeks ago they were even on national backorder....problem seems to be cv related....

[8)]An update on the problem. The new axles did take care of the clicking sound but not the other vibration that would cycle every few seconds from 70 mph and above......Well you wont believe what the problem was. I had Macnacor Wires and the NGK Iridium plugs in it. I replaced the plugs with the stock factory plug gapped at .45 and replcaed the wires with the original equipment wires that came with the car.....Quess what the vibration has stopped. No check engine light came on at all and no codes were stored. But I do remember about 2 months after I installed them I did get a code p0300...mutiple misfires...I cleard it and it never came back. It looks as if the Plugs are bad or the wires...my quess is the plugs. I plan on replacing the wires with the Magnacoe to see if the vibtration comes back to try to narrow it down to one or the other. But my first quess is the plugs are defective.....

[8)]Man I filled up today and my mpg even went up by 3 . Either the plugs or the wires were bad. I think that I will stick to the oem plug in the future...
