Default Continued Driving with CV joints clicking sound

I've had the CV joints clicking sound for about the last 10k miles now, and it seems to be progressively getting worse. Anyone know what the future harm will be if I keep driving with this problem, and what damage it may cause to the surrounding area?

What is next in line, and anyone know what the costs to replace are, parts and labor?

Get it fixed.
If your CV goes at speed and you lose an axle (or a driveshaft for that matter), you will REGRET it.

Is your car covered under warranty?

I get a single click coming from the front pass side (I believe) every time I stop, hit a bump, and only sometimes when I turn. Is this the same problem? I had the CV go on my old old CRX, but they made continous clicking when I turned then eventually seized. On the S it sounds more like something is shifting and is only a single click. It's driving me nuts! Can someone help me?

Oh yeah, sorry for hijacking your thread

It's not the same problem. The S2000 CV joints are in the rear (RWD) while FWD have theirs in the front.
My bad, I feel dumb now. I've been dealing with fwd for so long, it's almost habit. I'm just desperate and don't want to go to the dealer.

would someone please help diagnose a loose CV joint? How do I tell if I have the problem or not? I am also hearing the clicking noise from behind while the car is moving?

thanks in advance.
