I think you’re probably right. Look for a torn CV boot. ---

well that’s different. It’s possible both axles are bad at the same time but unlikely. Usually you can tell which axle is bad when it clicks aroud turns, because the CV joint is extended. What kind of car is it? ---

That’s what I thought by your Avatar. I hate to be the one to tell you this but it sounds like your Viscous coupling unit for the all wheel drive is on its way out. It’s a common SVX issue. You could try changing out the fluid and adding a good slip lock additive. That might help you out. ---

I say Halfshaft. A bad cv joint will make that sound on either left or right turns, not just one. Most common on acceleration as you already said. Find out the price for yourself… [https://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/mak,SUBARU,1991](https://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/mak,SUBARU,1991) ---
