My car has a new noise that I noticed just the other day. It has started to sound like a "propeller driven" car!! (EXACT same noise as prop...)
Has no relation to the engine speed...just speed of vech. As I go faster, it gets louder, 'till you hit around 55mph, then "seems" to get quiter...but does NOT go away until I stop at a light..slow down below 20 mph)
If I take a hard right turn, seems to lesson a bit...poss go away.
I'm thinking CV joint..but how do I know which side? Could it be anything other then that? (I pulled the front wheels and looked for bad boot...slop...but all looked good...so I can't tell!) Should I be worried about catistrophc failure? (sp?)
Where should I be buying these parts? (is it a better part @ the dealer?)
Thanks, Don M.
