Hi,

Thanks for all responses- some common themes are reassuring- seems the bearings will need some inspection (which means I'll eyeball the brakes/drums while going thru), bolt torque, and I'll have the shop that installed the tires check them, tho new w/2500 miles on them, anything is possible.  Still haven't heard any noise from the CV's...

The bearings wouldn't be a surprise; the front bearings were crunchy toast when I bought the van, but the back ones were quiet at the time.

I'm suspicious of the CV's as I am fearful one may have taken a good whack while transplanting an engine and tranny- as the van ran fine/smoothly before (and the engine and tranny ran smoothly in the previous van).

Thanks again,
mike
