Thumping Sound (not from the stereo!)

Post by T Biller »

Here is the scoup. V6 94, There is this thumping/clunking sound that I get usualy when accelerating around a left hand bend, but sometimes also in a straight line or turning right, although not as bad as in a left hander, sometimes even just a vibration in a straight line. I thought it was probably a CV even though it didn't sound quite right, it's a deeper clunk rather than a higher ticking CVs usualy make. Anyway I took it to my mechanic who thought the same as me, so he replaced the CV, $230 CAN parts + labour ($140 US, the excange really sucks these days), anyway the noise almost went away, but I could still hear it under hard acceleration in a lefty and since then it has gradualy got worse again until now it's almost as bad as it was to start with. Any suggestions/similar experiences?
