Hi All,

question regarding possibly failing Vanagon (et al) CV's:

Would a CVjoint on it's way out vibrate at higher speeds, perhaps as a
prelude to that nerve-wracking click-clacking that typically precedes
failure?

I have a new vibration that seems to be coming from the van rear; tire
balance seems to have been ruled out by the shop.   Bolts are torqued
properly.

Also- when checking, I am not sure if I should have the wheel on or off
the ground?

I'm half tempted to remove an axle so I can get a good look at the
CVjoint to better understand how it works- but I'd rather save my
energy for if/when it goes!

Thanks for any  help/suggestions,
Mike
84's
