Hi Ed,

I didn't realize that movement was normal. Although there is a noisy clunk from the cv joint when I move the axle "in & out". I know the noise is coming from the driver's rear. When I spin the wheel you can hear it - I'm just not sure where it is coming from the joint or the bearing.

I thought since the sound went away (twice) after I jacked up the car - indicated that by varying the angle of the cv joint by jacking up the car & the sound going away indicated a problem with the joint.

After I jacked the car up & the noise went away I took the car for a high speed run on a couple of really bumpy roads to try to get the noise to start to start - but to no avail. Even doing circles in the local church parking lot (hoping for some devine intervention) didn't induce any noise.

Stumped in PEI!
