I've got a noise coming from the left rear area of my '85 GL. It seems to be at "wheel" speed. It happens during sweeping left turns at highway speeds (>60 kmh). The van has 110,000 km; I've never serviced the CV joints and I doubt the DPO did, either. The tires are new last September. If any of you have replaced your CVs, I'd be interested to hear whether this symptom had been encountered. |
