Well, I think my CV joints have had it.  I got some clunking, that sounded
like it was from the rear of the vanagon.  But, it would do it anytime the
engine was working, even if I was going down straight down the road.

Should I just replace the CV joints or might it be something else?

I wonder how long my joints will last?

How difficult is this?  How long does it take a shade tree mechanic to do?

Thanks for any insights!
