Hi all,

Lately, an unidentified noise that I used to hear on turns (both left and right) at relatively high speeds - 40mph or more - has significantly increased. Now, I can sometimes even hear it when on straights. The shop ruled out the rear bearings about 6 months ago (though they replaced the front). I uploaded a short video on YouTube, and this is the link:

You can clearly hear it at seconds 00:03 and 00:17

Any thoughts or suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Cv joint ? Usually when turning.

I second checking the CV joints. How many miles on the car?

Mmmh a lot , 200k +

CV related. You’re gonna have to do some disassembly and inspect each bolt, washer, CV, etc.
Could be just a loose CV, or something else

I am no mechanical guru like many on this site....but 200,000 miles is a lot of miles.....especially if those are the original CV's......gotta' be the CV's....imho...

Even if it isn't the CV's, if they are original to the car you need to replace them.

It's easy to identify which CV but I have no idea when it's both. If you turn to the right while accelerating it's the left side CV and vice versa.

CVs or differential spider gears IMO.

By 200K I'd have re-booted/rebuilt axles 3 times...

I'd drain transmission and inspect gear oil as well.

I had a similar rattling noise on deceleration that turned out to be a heater control valve rattling against the engine mount bar.
