Hi,

This weekend I was down in Oak Ridge, TN for a race. Coming home, 35 miles north of Knoxville, I started hearing a clicking noise while going 75 mph on the interstate. At first I thought it was a flat, then I worried that it was a sheared or loose set of lugnuts, but when I stopped all was well. looking under, the passenger side inner cv boot was smoking, and there was diff fluid all over the underside of my car. In the end all I decided to rent a uhaul and tow the car(all four wheels up) the 650 miles to DE.

My question is, could I have driven, although slowly, the trip with relatively high confidence that nothing would sieze up? I drove 35 miles on it, at ~50 mph with no real roblems or clicking. I was worried, and even though I hope it wont happen again, Im just wondering if I did the cheapest thing(I paid $500 for the truck and trailer).
Just for general interest...
Thanks
