Hello guys

My car makes noises like a cv axle is failing but a bit different.
This is only happening when I am turning fast and will using the gas pedal, or when I fall in a pothole.
That which is weird is that if it was a cv joint problem then I will be able to hear the clicking when the car is take of while the steering is left or right.
So I am thinking is it possible to need to replace my swaybar bushing or the endlinks?

What do you think guys?

I have replaced my left cv joint but it still doing this also the sound I think it comes form the left but not sure.

if it were your tie rods you would have felt play in your wheel, you can grab the tire rod also shake it, it should move or make a sound if its bad. sway bar bushing could make a sound if its worn, and if its really gone, it makes like a clank. endlink is easy to tell if its gone. lower ball joints if really bad can make sounds too. Theres 3 ways to know if something is bad, physical inspection, grab it or use the necessary tool to check for looseness, and finally if it makes sounds. check everything i said originally, its really easy if you need more help just let us know what you've checked so far. you can't really assume whats bad, you actually have to really check it. sometimes you gotta replicate the sound if you could.

wheel bearing (for this, is the sound when turning right only or left or both)
lower ball joint
endlinks/sway bushings
check for loose bolts/nuts everywhere (may need to be retorqued)
inner/outer tie rods
axles (maybe idk)
doublecheck motor mounts (if shaking)
sounds crazy but doublecheck the tightness of your lugnuts
do you get shaking in your steering wheel during that moment or all the time?
are you sure its coming from the front?
