[Vwdiesel] Fw: CV joint/axle question

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

Thanks Roger !  Your guys help is much appreciated.  I can tell it's been
rubbing here and there.
I actually did notice a slight vibration y'day...but maybe it's because I
really had my head cocked
sideways listening and feeling for anything unusual.

So.......I'm back to the brake theory Sandy has suggested.  Was busy all
night tonight, so maybe will
find time to look at the wheel tmw night.

Cheers,

Mike
