A 97 Honda Accord had a click sound when the drive wheels are turned. The repair shop has replaced both worn CV joints. But, I still hear the click sound when turn the wheels all the way to either left or right. Before the replacement of the worn CV joints, the click sound could be heard as soon as I turned the vehicle but did not have to turn the wheels all the way to left or right. It seems the repair shop did not do the repair well and may need to make an adjustment. Do you know what the problems look like that can cause the click sound only when the drive wheels are turned all the way to left or right? Please note the worn CV joints have just been replaced. Thank you for your answer.

Possibilities include: Worn upper strut mounts that pivot.
Worn steering rack mount bushings.
Worn inner or outer tie rod ends.
Ball joints. Stabilizer links.
Suspension arm bushings.
As you can see, quite a few possibilities, so hard to tell from here without our eyes and ears on the problem.
Always good to have new drive axles and piece of mind.
Recommend you go back and explain your problem just as you did here.
Good luck.
