well, after changing my clutch on monday, i drove the car home that night, and it drove fine.....

i went down the highway today and bad news.....it sounds like the wheel is REALLY off balance, but i get NO steering wheel shake at all.....it just goes thududududududud and then it will go away at low speeds...

lets see if i diagnosed this right...

-if it WAS a tranny problem, the thudding would be consistant with the speed of the tranny right? like, if i shifted to a lower gear, the "thudududd" would go faster?
-----the sound is consistant with the SPEED OF THE CAR, not the speed of the engine

-if it was a wheel/rotor issue, i would have major wheel shake when i hear the loud "thududududud"
------no wheel shake/shimmy at all...

-if it were the CV axle, it would spin at all times consistant with the speed of the car
-----i really do think it's the CV, if it were any other suspension part, it would have to rotate with the speed of the vehicle, and the only things that rotate are the CV, rotor, and wheel....

any input? i plan on knocking out the CV job tomorrow afternoon....thanks bro's!

just make sure the CV shaft is completely into the tranny. I had one that wasnt in all the way and it screwed up the threads.
