What does a bad CV joint sound/feel like? I have some issues in the rear part of my drivetrain and am trying to figure out if it is something other than the diff.

Thanks,

what are you feeling or hearing? cv joints usually click if there bad look for a torn boot also

I can feel and here a clunk when going from out of park or when changing directions. It also can be heard some times if the passenger side tire spins on a right hand turn. This nais does seem to be coming from the passenger side but there are no torn boots and I can't seem to track it down on a lift by spinning the wheels back and forth. I am suspecting the differential but it was rebuilt two years ago. The half shafts have close to 150k on them so I just want to feel out all possibilities.

check your tranny crossmember mount also.

A clunking sound and feel, when shifting out of park, definitely sounds like differential problems. And if it happens during wheel spin, I dont think it's a tranny mount. And most likely not any kind of CV joint prob.

Could be a U-joint on the driveshaft also. They clunk when they are worn and you change from out of park to a gear or from reverse to drive.

Yeah, but would that also account for the sound when his right tire is breaking loose?

I still feel that it is differential problems.
