so after replacing my idle control valve, fuel pressure regulator, and throttle position sensor (amongst other things) i finally have the vx idling fine and running good enginewise - so i went on a short roat trip yesterday to test it out (maybe 40 miles) - the motor ran great and car drove five - it didnt feel weird at all... until i get home and turn into the garage - i have to make a sharp right turn into my drive then an immediate left to get into the garage and i hear a horrible sound like metal grinding - i back it up out of the garage and drive it around the block to see whats up and the sound continues around every turn and even at low speeds while going straight - its def coming from the front end but from which side i have no idea - sounds like the middle but thats what scares me - anyways, i put it in low gear to see what it would do and when i would slowly accelerete it sounds like a baseball card in bicycle spokes - this is terrible - the first thing im thinking is my cv joints or a wheel bearing but im scared its something wrong with the tod or abs - no warning lights whatsoever and it went into low gear fine other than making the noise worse - brakes feel fine in a straight line but could be making it worse around corners - got underneath and nothing looks broken or bent and both cv boots look fine no signs of leaking or tears - any ideas on how i could diagnose the problem without bringing it into the shop? maybe the diff needs service? i appreciate any suggestions...
