Okay, a newish noise has begun. It actually started a while back but only when making pretty aggressive turns. Tonight, very cold, the noise happened just driving straight.
It is coming from behind me and low, a bit left. It is a light thunk thunk thunk and is the same speed as the yet to be fixed pulsing front brakes. .but is unrelated because it is from behind me. It slows down and speeds up with the speed of the car, unrelated to engine speed. CV joint? Something loose where the axle half connects to the transmission? Maybe?

sounds like a CV joint.
And my attitude towards the HOA is to just do the work anyway. you dont have a garage or carport? If you knew which CV, it can be replaced in about 30 minutes. Stu |

No garage or carport. . townhouses circa 1980. . lakefront, and remember, I'm on the board. . I would have to issue a 100 buck fine to myself. Without this rule, we'd have cars on blocks. . engines in parking spaces etc. .
It seems like a GENTLE drive to my friends would be okay?????? QUOTE(stugray @ Dec 10 2011, 10:03 AM)  sounds like a CV joint. And my attitude towards the HOA is to just do the work anyway. you dont have a garage or carport? If you knew which CV, it can be replaced in about 30 minutes. Stu |

QUOTE(mrholland2 @ Dec 10 2011, 01:21 PM) It seems like a GENTLE drive to my friends would be okay?????? Only you can answer that question. How bad it is. How long until it explodes or comes apart. You could always do the ghetto thing and take it to a nearby strip mall, go behind the mall and out of the way and jack it up there. If someone (police) questions you just explain you may have a major issue and the car may need towed. You are just inspecting for trouble. |

I imagine I can get away with some checking. Honestly, I like the HOA rules, they have worked to help improve the place alot. You can't imagine what was going on before, people owning a place with no front door and animals moving in etc. But that isn't the point of this topic.
As long as I don't report myself, I can probably do the "Jack test" yank on the tire thing. I'll do that and decide from there. If I can get it to my friends place, I'll do a more thorough inspection. Thanks guys/gals.
