Transmission noise - cv joint?

Recommended Posts

On my way this morning, a clack-clack-clack noise developed driving straight ahead, particularly when de-celerating. It is directly related to road speed, not very loud but noticable. Sounds like a cv joint, but not related to steering wheel position (ie not pronounced on lock) so probably not an outer joint.

 

Turned round and straight back to my local specialist who put her up on the hoist, no obvious problems. He took her out later and couldn't replicate the problem over a reasonable test. There are no horrible gearbox noises, and the transmission oil level is correct.

 

One of the inner driveshaft joints has a relatively new rubber boot, which leads me to think that maybe that it has been replaced at sometime in the past. Maybe the joint wasn't cleaned out and repacked when the boot failed, and the wear has finally made itself apparent.

 

Does anyone have an alternative theory?

 

Best wishes
