A few Questions regarding parts

I am not sure if i need to replace these for sure, but i was driving yesterday and i heard a small clicking noise from my driver side rear, i believe its the cv joint boot and i think its damaged and might need to be replaced.


Also when i start the car the timing belt squeeks and sometimes when i'm shifting you can hear a small squeek ( although i'm still a newb at driving stick i still get into gears normally without squeeking )

My friend tested the clutch and said its gonna go soon too.
Rough estimate I"m looking at $800 dollars worth of repair
Just wondering if i've got it all wrong or it could be something else.

Sad day yesterday for me, but i guess this is the whole point becomming a car enthusiasts


Ps. driving 96 civic h/b

umm, there is no rear cv boot on a civic... could be your wheel bearing.
also, i dont think its possible for the timing belt to squeek cause it has teeth. probly the alt. belt or pwr steer belt (if u have it)

if your clutch is done a cheap one can be bought at carquest for round 180( plus 5 hours or so of your labour), a wheel bearing shouldnt cost more than 80 ( itll need to be pressed in), and the belt just needs tightening.

The clicking is probably your cv joint in the front, (thus front wheel drive), I had this happen on one of my civics.

It was clicking when I was turning corners, finally blew right in the middle of an insection.
