At first it seems to be like every now and then, but now it happens a little more often. Do th cv joints brake? Has anyone taken the cobalt in for warranty work for that?

CV joints usually last a long time- 100k easy. You can drive on a bad CV joint almost forever. When they really start to go they'll make a nasty clicking/crunching in hard turns. The little clicking noise you're talking about shouldn't be a big deal. But if you're still under warranty, why the hell not take it to the dealer if it'll make you feel better.

I had a cv axle go out on me in a car years ago. As I was backing out of my driveway, I heard what sound like gravel hitting my car, the bearings had come flying out. Needless to say it wouldn't move at all...cost like $600 to fix because I had no experience working on fwd back then.
