Anyone have CV joint(s) fail?

Our '05 with less than 29K miles, seems to have one or more failed CV joints. When 4WD (Full/Part) is engaged, there is a very loud clicking once per tire revolution. It continues to click after shifting back into 2WD, but if we stop and back up a couple of feet or so, it stops. The sound is just like our minivan made when the CV joints failed.

Thank you

Sounds like it and as I recall at least the driver's side half shaft is different then the gas model :wink: 05's have a 75k power train warranty, are they included in that :?:

They want a fortune for cvs on the CRD. Maybe J.E. Reel could build you some better ones for the same cash?

Are you sure that its the CV joints? As our vehicles don't have locking hubs, the CV joints are always turning, aren't they?

correct, though when you put it in 4wd you put more strain on the front end than when it turns freely.

Well - after a few days, and a thorough inspection by our excellent local mechanic - noise went away. We strongly suspect that it was a twig or similar.
