Bad Drivetrain Vibration / Noise

[Dave Glubrecht]

I can absolutely confirm that a driveline noise is possible on a 90 90q 20v.
I fixed a noise of this type on this car at the same mileage.
The great news is that I found that the CV joints were still good, just that
the grease had dried out.  Upon cleaning and regreasing, all noise went
away.
  Hope you are lucky enough to have found it before damage to the joint has
happened.
