    For a while, I've had a light "ticking" sound from the left front when I turn the wheel tightly to the left. Recently, this has become a loud knocking sound. CV replacement, yes? Other thoughts?

    Sounds like it to me.
    Is the boot ripped? If so, then its obviously a bad CV.

    CV axles are getting pretty inexpensive to purchase, I would just replace both side. Just as a regular maintenance parts, I think that model are live axles.

    Replacing the entire axle would be easier than replacing just the boot.
    When I worked at the muffler shop we found that replacing a drive axle, rather than pulling the joint and replacing just the boot, was a lot quicker and less stressful operation to endeavour.

    Drive Axles are $5 now, eh?
    That's pretty good!

    $5? Thats a deal, Dean. I got a pair for my Tacoma from Detriot Axle for $69 plus free shipping. Not sure how much the Ranger go for, don't need it yet.

    ...and I never paid $69 for a boot.
