Clicking noise in right turns in 94 STS

OK, I'm slightly PO'd about this. I took the car to my mechanic and they said it sounded like the halfshaft (CV joint) and I told them if they are replacing one, go ahead and do them both.

When they were done, the clicking was still there. It happens only when making right turns above 10 or 15MPH. It sounds like the card in the spokes of a bicycle.

They seem to think it is the differential (yack).... yet the car runs/drives perfectly. Accelerations is without noise in a straight line and scalding. Turn in is on a dime.

Can anyone challenge the idea that it is the differential? The car has 88k miles on it.

Thanks,

Adam

I have it on my 94 eldo I think it is the HUB. the bearing inside the race have flattened and are knocking against the side.
I didn't replace mine because its a winter car and it doesn't bug me

Yea I was thinking that too but it is hard to tell which side it is coming from and I dont want to just throw more money at it if that doesn't solve the problem. Thanks for the suggestion I will try to look more into it. Anyone else?
