Hey guys, I'm experiencing a big knocking sound when I turn the wheel and accelerate. I'm guessing it's cv joints? If anyone knows or has an idea of what it could be. Please let me know. Anyone selling a set or cvs for it as I'll replace it this week?

It's snapped off the joint in the wheel. Just ordered 2 brand new drive shafts so that should fix it.

A snapped CV??!!!!!
It must've been making a clicking noise for a long time to get to that point!! You sure its not a failed wheel bearing?
Try hsy autoparts. They will have wheel bearings and cv's.
