Name that noise......the 4k edition
List,
We had out first cold snap here in Maryland this week and the 87 4kcsq is
making a new noise. It sounds like 3 or 4 mourning doves are stuck
underneath the vehicle. It is not RPM related, but presents itself when
accelerating from a stop until I reach 40mph or so. With windows open and
head outside (like a dog!) you cannot hear the noise. Inside it is quite
loud, and does not make any noise at highway speed. It is not the wheel
bearing "roar" that I am familiar with and does not cause any vibration or
drivability issues. Should I suspect that the center support bearing for the
rear driveshaft is drying out slowly and I still have time to save further
damage? Is this bearing serviceable?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies,
