Good time to change car. With COE is below 40K and the car prices seem even cheaper than last year.

From my google search, drive shaft is to transmit the power from gearbox or differential to wheel. So for latio, it has 2 drive shafts. The CV joint is part of the drive shaft. Often there is no separate CV joint alone to replace. I haven't checked with the workshop to see if it is possible to change the CV joint alone. I agree it is usually the outer CV joint nearer to the wheel need to be replaced rather than the whole drive shaft.

Maybe it the front wheel front axle CV joint.

I have this pop sound from the driver side front wheel for about 1 year. I will hear the sound when brake hard to stop or turning during reversing. Went to workshop and was advised it was drive shaft problem. Anyone has the same problem?
