My car is making a clicking sound when I accelerate around corners
Help!
I'm not sure what it is but for some reason my car has slowly started to develop a clicking or knocking sound when I go around corners. Has anyone got a solution for this?nbsp;
Should I stop driving my car? I use it for work so I can't afford to be without it for a long time.

It sounds like your CV joints might need replacing. CV joints are found in every front wheel drive vehicle and some 4WD's. Their role is to transfer power from transmission to the wheels.
CV joints typically run into problems when the boot that protect them either tears or develops a small hole leaving the CV joint to run dry. This lack of lubrication means metal on metal which produces the 'clicking' sound. If allowed to run dry and car is continuously driven, the CV joint may be damaged and need a complete replacement. If the joint is very loud or is heard even when driving straight, the problem may be criticial.
I would reccommend you take it into a mechanic as soon as you can. It is a relatively easy thing to fix and a good mechanic should be able to sort it in an afternoon.
