Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


CV Joints make a clunk clunk esp on turns or acceleration. A tire noise will
change on some road surfaces. A trans mainshaft brng changes with eng rpm. A
trans pinion bearing is usually worse on acceleration. I would ck the wheel
bearings first. A final drive bearing will make noise anytime the wheels are
turning, but if its bad enough to be noisey at 10MPH ...then you might be
able to wiggle a final drive flange up & down to confirm. They usually
develop the noise slowly. You may be best served to have a local shop test
drive & listen & offer a suggestion. One trained ear is worth 73 e mails
where noises are concerned. Good luck, Daryl of AA Transaxle
