Yeah! I think that is the right thing to do. Reman axles suck. BTW, it might be that only one axle is clicking, but it will do it in both directions.

I thought about it only being one of them since the mathematical likelihood of it being both right out of the box would be considerably less. I figured I'd do the passenger side first -- don't have to drain the ATF -- and test. Then I decided that if they are willing to exchange the 2 remans with 2 new ones then replacing both would be a good thing.

Well, problem [that it looks like I introduced] solved...

NAPA was kind enough to exchange the two reman CV driveshafts for two new ones. I installed them and, wa la, instant and total success.

No clicking, scrubbing, creaking or squeaking at either turn extreme.

It was one or both of the re-manufactured CV driveshafts.

The guy who did the front-end alignment said the strut assy, including the top mount, seemed normal to him.

I appreciate all the time and help I received from the folks on this thread.

Fini...
