I watched your video on how to replace

When should I replace the axil vs just the axil bolt and washer?

I have a click noise.

Hi,

If you hear a clicking sound when turning, chances are the outer CV joint is faulty. In this case, you are better to replace the half shaft/Axle shaft. The bolt will be replaced at the same time. In most cases, you will need to purchase a new axle nut in addition to the axle assembly.

If you look below, I attached the directions specific to your vehicle for axle replacement. Take a look through them and let me know if you have questions.

Take care and let me know how things turn out for you.

Joe
