[200q20v] Not Centre Drive shaft bearing -maybe worse

[Bernie Benz]

That front CV joint gets quite a bit of heat from the adjacent exhaust
system, so over time (10 yrs) the grease gets hard.  Don't replace until
you first clean and relube the old one.  If the balls and races are not
damaged, this will fix it.  BTDT
