Once i get it cleaned up ill see how much play is in it. I agee a rebuilt DS maybe the way to go becasue the front and read DS joins are expensive. If the seal is reasonable its worth repacking and trying the joint and trying it. When i took it out you could feel the joint binding because of the sti...

ok well i pulled the drveshaft and the vibration is gone. I checked the CV's and the rear wasnt too bad. Pretty dirty but smooth. ill replace the grease in it. The front was pretty crappy. the grease was thick and sticky like many others have mentioned on here. when taking it apart the rubber boot r...

Looks like ill be under the car this weekend. I think the CV's are fine but ill give them a look over. im pretty sure both Tie rods are good also. I need to check the control arm Bushings. Any other suggestions?

my 98 has about 137000 miles on it. I get a shuddering type of vibration when turning left and right. It seems to be worse when turning right IIRC. Also it seems worse at low speed. 20 Mph or less. Going faster it seems to be smoother. Also its more apparent in tighter turns when accerating. Doing t...

Ok i took some video clips of the car on jack stands. its not easy to hear the noise clearly. any thoughts on the noises? links are below. thanks all. http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit?ns=1&feature=vm-privacy&video_id=_9xr4DJUO78 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-5epBFwves http://www.yout...

yes, thats the mount i changed. it was completely shot.

I just checked the front wheels and there is no play in the wheel bearing. i supposed that doesnt mean i have one going bad it just may not be worn to the point you can feel the play. Ill have to try the youtube video. Im not sure the sound will record because its not really that loud yet. i will gi...

also it does seem to be coming from the front of the car. you can feel it on your feet a little bit. kind of a wawawawa sound and a light vibration.

yes prop shaft is still in the car. Today i was clipping along on a curvy road and i did notice the noise was louder going around left hand turns so maybe it is a wheel bearing. ill jack it up and give the wheels a tug to see if there is any play.

Sounds a little like a bad wheel bearing but cornering left or right doesnt seem to change the sound also i couldnt feel any play in the wheel bearings. Any ideas??

BTW this is my 98 V70 XC

thanks
