If someone did my breaks wrong, could they damage my cv axle?

Ok, So last week i got my breaks done at a mechanic shop.

The next day i heard a loud clunking noise coming from what sounded like the front passenger side tire.



It went away and i didn't hear it again till the next day. It seems like everyday it is getting worse. Mainly when im turning left, or slowing down. If im driving straight, i don't hear it.



I've done some research on the internet, and it sounds like the CV axle.



Could there be any other possibilities?



Also, my main question.

Is there something the mechanic could have done while changing my breaks to make this sound happen. And if so, how do i prove it?



My car is a 2000 chevy cavalier, I have never had any problem with it, except for regular maintenance.



Please help!!If someone did my breaks wrong, could they damage my cv axle?
Well I dont see any reason for the brake guy to remove any parts that have to do with the CV joints.

It may have something to do with the brake job itself so take it back and have the guy remove the tire and rim and look it over before something bad happens.If someone did my breaks wrong, could they damage my cv axle?
take it back to the mechanic and ask them.
no , there no need to mess with cv shaft when doing front BRAKE service. you are right it does sound like cv shaft. You might check to see if he left lug nuts loose or caliper bracket
First off, you have got to determine what is actually causing the noise - it may not be the CV joint at all, it could well be a something as simple (and dangerous) as a loose wheel or improperly tightened brake caliper.

Have a mechanic take a look at it - the CV joints and brake system are not something that you should ignore.
its a CV ''joint''...not axil

this wouldn't have been touched by anyone fixing the brakes..

there would be no reason for him to.

its just one of those things...

purely coincidental
Its brakes (not breaks-you use breaks when you shatter a glass vase-it breaks). You need to take it back where the work was done or find another shop. I think Brake Check will take a look for free. Call some places in the yellow pagegs under auto brake work. Dont keep driving it until its properly fixed/
