Quick Question

[Craig Artzner]

My fiance's '99 Mercury Cougar has this drone with light vibration that starts at about 15mph and is worst at 45mph. I think I have it narrowed down to a bad CV shaft or joint because when I turn left it goes away, when I turn right it's still there.

Which side would be the bad side if it goes away when I turn left? None of the CV boots are punctured so I can't tell that way.

craig, does either of the axle shafts have a support bearing in the center of it? if so, check there first... otherwise, put the front end on jackstands and run it up to speed and turn the wheels, listen for which side its coming from, try and buy a mechanics stethescope to listen against the hub near the cv shaft...
