Yes it goes along the line of trying to test for a loose ball joints in the front suspension you cannot make enough push my hands to compete with natural forces. That little catch Overboost called a notch under no load if you can feel it all you can imagine the amount of force on that drive shaft under load and multiply how much more obvious that little bump will be.

Makes sense. I ran the u joint through all movements and it felt smooth without any resistance even small.

Do the test I described where you loosen the axle nut, tap the axle in a few mm (leave nut on just loosen a couple turns) and check for play.

My bearing which was silent with 235 tires but howled with 255s was stiff even with rotor on was wobbly even with just the hub once I removed the axle.

That reminds me; usually I can knock out the hub in a minute with a slide hammer but this time it was a beast to remove! It's so much easier to remove with a bearing separator plate and 55-60 mm M14-1.5 bolts.

I'll give this a try. Maybe this weekend. Not sure as it looks like rain moving in again.

Worn sub-frame bushings?

OEM. Correct I think. I did it with the correct tool. I will take a look at them.

The OEM has voids in the rubber bushings so it must be installed in a certain wayside so the back and forth movement of the sub-frame is pushing on the rubber and not the void.

Under load and not a high frequency moan/howl suggests CV axle. Does it change which steering input? Find a hill you can reproduce the sound/vibration and see if you can get it to change by steering pay the centerline.

Did you ever hear small tick tick sounds driving slow? (that's a guibo)

The CV I think it's six bearings so 3/revolution is off by two. If you get a spike at 6x revolution I would expect CV to be the source.

Have you ever had to change boot? Are CV Original (or recently changed)
