Subject:Noises from rear end revisited
From:Erin Randolph
Date:Fri, 13 Feb 2004 21:45:33 -0800

Hello all,
    Well, The Weather warmed up here (a whopping 30
degrees), and lo and behold Most of my cv noises went
away (have not had a chance to repack them)  I had to
make a short run to the grocery store, and noticed
another noise coming from the rear end...(sigh) A
slight dull thud Seems to only happen when i go over
bumps. (and is random) I rechecked the bolts on the
cv's and could not loose them by hand. I jacked up
each tire and shook them at 12 and 3 o'clock to no
really alarming noises.  Did a visual on the rear
trailing arm, and nothing seemed out of place.  I do
know that i need to replace the drivers side upper
Control arm bushings and the upper ball joint, but The
noise is definitly coming from the rear...Or is it?
As the weather warms, I plan to repack the cv's,
replace the upper control arm bushings, and the upper
ball joint...Plus in about a week am going to do the
standard head gasket job.  Any thoughts on other
places to look for the offending noise would be
helpful...Pmail me with any ideas.
                                     -Erin R.
