2008 Chevrolet Impala. Car started making a clicking sound everytime i make a right hand turn. I recently replaced the CV joints on both sides on different dates. Did the Drivers side about a month ago and the clicking continued, changed the one on the Passenger side two days ago and the clicking still continues when i turn right. i was told that the CV axle might be defective although it is a brand new one, not a remanufactured on or that the spindle/wheel bearings might need to be changed.

I get clicking from both sides when the temp is under 35F. It only shows up during acceleration, and is louder when turning under acceleration. It goes away after a few blocks unless it is really cold; then it takes about a mile to dissipate. CV joints? Wheel bearings? Only 35k on the car.

I have to wait until winter again to get it checked out by the dealership under CPO warranty.

Edit: it definitely comes from the front and not the rear.
