greased all 3 nipples about 2 months ago - lifted front end and got pressure off wheels, tried to shake and no play (think bearings are good) - then tried to wiggle everything connected to anything in the front end that looks like it moves, including the cv joints and they are all stiff and feel good - is there anything in the drive shaft that could bind up or cause a grinding/popping noise? if just let the vx creep at idle speed you can hear it almost continous (ping ping pop ping pop) when you go faster it gets more intense and sounds like grinding
so the front cv joints could make a noise in the middle of the car? i hear nothing when i put my ear right up next to the front wheels when they are rolling...
are the joints that connect the shaft inbetween the front differential to the transfer case also called cv joints?
sorry to sound dumb but everyone i talk to calls all this crap something different
