[Solved] Celica Popping noise

Topic starter

I have a 97 Toyota Celica GT with 108k miles and a manual transmission. I had it parked for a couple months to wait out the worst of the winter and when I drove it the other day I noticed a clicking/popping noise coming from the front of the car. It happens whenever I turn the wheels or go over some rough pavement. I checked underneath the vehicle and the driver’s side inner CV axle has been leaking quite bit of grease since I’ve gotten the car. (I’ve driving it about 4k miles since purchase.) I also noticed a very small puddle of what I believe is transmission fluid on the ground where it was parked. The inner CV boot is intact but it does seem to move a little when I push on it. I am wondering if the whole CV axle is toast and if the seal is also done for since there is some tranny fluid getting out. The ride is pretty rough and bouncy so I was also thinking of getting all new struts. Two of the boots on the struts are all torn. Thank you for any answers on what I should do here!

Basically just get another axle assembly. They're cheap enough. Replaced that and also a place. The transmission seal on the inside when you have a taking apart. It's easy to do once it's staging apart
