I replaced my front driver axel on my 2017 camry due to popping noises on turns. 1000 miles later it started popping again? Is it common?

Well to some answers I can say it’s possibly a lemon issue.. I noticed it around 20-30k (I think).. I rode with it knowing I had to replace it but should have told the dealer.. it didn’t get louder or anything so now at 90k I managed to be ok surprisingly. The dealer said my boot was torn. N bad ball joints. So I got that replaced by the corner shop. 1000 miles later I hear it again. Lol! I can check the hub? & it does sound like a rattle type noise..like the price is right wheel lol

A POPPING sound is DANGEROUS as it MAY mean that your SUSPENCION BUSHINGS or CONTROL ARM bushings are A FALING wasted your money on a AXLE replacement! GO to a VALID alignment shop and they will TEST the suspension parts for you! A LOOSE or BROKEN CONTROL ARM bushing is VERY VERY dangerous and can cost you the CAR and your LIFE as well! AXLES do NOT make a POPPING SOUND, they make a RATTLING sound on turns. POPPINGI sounds are MUCH more OMINOUS, and SERIOUS control loss is very LIKELY!
It's common if you do donuts all the time. Ordinarily that axle should have been trouble-free for 100,000 miles. There should be a warranty you can fall back on- parts and labor. Check the grease boot for tears or if it came loose and let out all the grease so the dry joint would get sloppy and clickety. You should also have the intermediate steering shaft checked. Sometimes they get noisy. That has been a problem with many different cars since electric power steering came out...not just Toyotas. That damned shaft costs about $180 from the dealer and takes about an hour to change.
