This is a serious inquiry since it seems the Friday humor came early on
Thursday with over 200 plus messages that shut down the server. Incredible!

Today I noticed a new but faint rumble from the right side of my van. I
can't quite determine its location. Front, middle of van or rear? Right
front might mean wheel bearing? Right rear might mean a CV joint going bad.

The sound is very faint and seems to occur between 45 & 60 MPH and not
always present.

If it isn't one thing it is another.

The good news is that my oil pump replacement has fixed the oil leak there.

But now this new mystery rumble. CVs were service 4,000 miles ago. Could the
new springs and alignment have put different pressure on the wheel bearings?
Could 1/4 inch of height on the rear end have affected the CVs?

Any ideas?
