  • strange grinding noise.

    When im backing up in reverse, every once in a while I will hear a grinding noise....it sounds like power steering in old ford pickups. It only makes the noise when I turn, and its not the gear noise coming from the trans. I was thinking it has to be the axles? Maybe the cv joint im not sure though.

      I slid the boots up the axle and repacked the grease on my CV joints. They are quiet now. I carefully pried up the tabs on the metal straps and pressed them back down when done.

        I do need to come down and see you... I'll be out of town this coming week (going to the nascar race in Dover but after that I might not be working as much so I'll have a little more free time.
