Left turn noise. 05 4x4... CV joint?
To make everyone's life easier, I made took a short video of my
This is the noise my truck has been making. After some reading online, my best guess is the CV joint, but they appear to be like new, no worn boots or grease where there shouldn't be. I also wouldn't think they would go bad with only 32k miles on the truck, which to my knowledge has only seen very light use.
I can't be certain whether it's coming from the right or left side, because sitting in the drivers seat, either side would probably sound louder on the left, but it only happens when the wheels are turned left and the truck is moving. I first noticed it maybe 3k miles ago and hasn't seemed to get worse, but it's fairly consistent, especially after everything has warmed up.
If it IS the CV joint, from what I understand, I need to get it fixed ASAP before it self destructs and causes untold damage to anything in its path... or something like that. I know this won't be a cheap repair. I'm out of town, so fixing it myself is not an option. Would you go to a dealership, or stick to a Goodyear or local shop? Any other thoughts of what this might be?
Thanks!!
