Ok, pretty sure that at least one of my CV joints took a **** when I was doing some "spirited" driving the other night. When I let off the gas and let my car coast, it started clunking and shuddering at the same speed as the wheels, not the motor, so i suspect the cv joint(s), right? The noise and shudder would lessen a lot and almost stop if I was giving it gas or braking. The noise happens whether I am going straight or turning. I pulled over and jacked up the driver side to check and see if I could visually see anything, but couldn't. I then moved the wheel up and down, all seemed normal, then rotated it forward and then back. It made a loud clunk when I did this and felt out of whack. I have lifetime warranty axles thru autozone so it is not a money issue to change them, just a time issue which is why I would like to get more opinions.

 

opinions before I tear my front suspension apart <U>again</U>?

 

sounds like the joint to me, take the wheel off and inspect it again..
might see soemthing a bit better..
maybe its messed on the inside but the boot isnt ripped.

 

Kinda sounds like that to me too.
It doesnt take long to replace an axle...I can do one in about 30minutes (no air tools)

 

Hmm My CV joints click under acceleration while turning, that's usually what cv's do when they go bad.

 

TTT

 

TTT

 

when my cv joint when bad, i could only tell when i was turning.

 

um, yea...my f*ckin lug nuts were loose. go ahead, get the little hammer head guy out.
