CV joint noise?

[pbureau@attbi.com (pbureau@attbi.com)]

In my experiences, when a cv joint is making noise on 
acceleration and decelaration, it is always been the 
inbound (nearest to tranny) CV join usually Passenger 
side cage that is about to blow on you, last 2 where 
like that, last one, was not destroyed, but when I 
replaced the whole half shaft the inner was extremely 
tight to move.

> Noise is there under acceleration and deceleration, in neutral, clutch in or

> Noise increases on right turns, but is still there when going straight
