Re: Is it an Axle (CV Joint), a Wheel Bearing or Tranny issue?
I can't be certain it's the axle. From the beginig I felt like the noise and vibration came from the middle of the van (Tranny area). What made me decide on replacing the right front Wheel Hub was when I jacked up the van and let it run on gear it only vibrated on the right side, plus it definetly sounded and felt like a bad bearing.
Yesterday I jacked up the van again and had the wife do the engine running on gear and brake while I looked under the van. I saw the axle spin as it's supposed to... no wobbling, no vibration, it all looked normal. This makes me think there's something wrong inside the tranny (maybe a bearing inside of it) giving me the same simptoms of a wheel bearing gone bad.
The engine doesn't tremmble as much when looking from the outside either, but the steering wheel and column feels like it's gonna fall off.
