    change them again. where did you get them?
    check to see if they are still under warranty.
    a lot of axels get rebuild and they still click.

    Have you checked your engine mounts? If they break you may have put stress on your cv joints.

    I had changed mine once like 2 years ago and they clicked after the first 6 months. I didn't know about that engine mount thing up until 3 months ago. I bet that's whats doing it. Oh well I am going to probably replace the mounts soon and just leave the axles on until I feel I got my $300 out of them you know what I mean.

    you can try the, but keep in mind they are going to have a shorter lifetime than new ones (in theory). But then, if you have them you might as well geive them a shot.
    The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard;

    if you roasted brand new axles in 4 months, then something else is wrong. I mean, it's possible you got crappy axles, but not likely.

    what kind of shape is your suspension in? all your bushings still solid? shocks and springs in good shape? how about ball joints? bent rims? wobbly brakes? when did you have an alignment last?

    all those things will contribute to an increased CV joint wear. bad engine mounts will also wear out CVs, as mentioned before.
