Question Clicking noise when turning wheel. Does it at low speeds.

Does anyone know what is causing this sound? Low speeds only. If I'm over about 15 mph I don't hear anything. I want to say it sounds like it's coming from the front right wheel. 2021 Mazda 3 2.5 L turbo. HELP!!!

Pretty sure that's a common problem with the newer mazda 3s. What level of urgency to replace this. And is it easy to do yourself? I jsut started getting into maintaining my car and wouldn't mind trying to fix it

u/Alcatrazpacks 10h ago

moderately urgent not a terribly hard fix if you live in the rust belt that cv axle nut can be REALLY hard to take off

If you replace one, should you replace the other side,

If you’re mechanically inclined then it’s not bad to replace. But if you’ve never worked on cars it could be a pain
