[Vwdiesel] Help ! Do I need upper strut bearings ?? a bit long ..

[Ethan Vos]

CV's click. If you get a click turning left it's probably the right axle
and vice versa.

The VW inners can be real bad.

If you want a real inexpensive trick to make the noise go away, let me
know, although for the price of a good rebuilt unit it's probably not worth
it. Just replace the axle.

bearings going bad.

  Turn a sharp corner.  Outers almost always go clack-clack-clack.  I'd
expect inners and diff bearings to make similar sounds.  Diffs would tend
to make the R&P whine a little.  CV's should rumble more than growl, like
the diff bearins would also.  Then there's worn splines on the flanges!
