Out of nowhere I have a strange sound coming from the passenger side rear area. The sound is a toc toc toc toc toc on acceleration.....and a tic tic tic tic on decceleration. Does this sound like a failing CV joint, and do they go suddenly like that??
Thanks, Mike |

Clicks and thumps when turning......when getting towards end of life it will make noises in a straight line. Best to repair prior to failure....

Sounds like it to me, that's the sound they make. It's the big ol' BB's in there rattling/dropping in the cage.

Here's a good test:
Grab axle. Push/pull it up and down. If it moves then CV is bad. It's okay for the axle to move in/out (back-n-forth between tire and tranny). |

I believe I have this same problem. When I start off I hear a clunk like when a universal joint would go bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Now I just need to find one and get the time to replace it.

QUOTE(Air_Cooled_Nut @ Jun 29 2006, 01:11 PM)  It's okay for the axle to move in/out (back-n-forth between tire and tranny). But it's not OK if the trans output shaft moves in and out...the thing the CV is bolted toon the trans. |

The sound is pretty damn loud too. Almost sounds like the brake caliper is rubbing on the wheel....... but it's not...I already checked that. Gotta pull the wheel when I get some time.

Check your CV bolts. The toc toc, tic tic noise could be the the plates flapping around. (insert Dr. Evil CV bolts plug if I'm right) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
