cv joint gone bad?

[vr4choke]

im getting some weird sounds and also feel like a pulling kind of thing when i'm turning. i think its a cv joint. what do you guys think?

Could be. An easy way to look is to take a look at the C/V boots. If they are torn there is a good chance you have a bad joint and should be fixed regardless.

A bad CV wouldn't cause a pull.

You would hear a grinding noise when turning.

weird sound, pulling? more then likley its ur powersteering, its prolly not pulling justsa resistance when ur turning cause there no fluid in the rack and pinion, check ur ps level and if its low u gotta leak somewhere

That's not entirely true. When they go really bad they'll pull, ask me how I know. But usually they'll cause the car to shudder pretty badly too at that point.

I had one that was so bad it made my car vibrate hirribly, but I still had no pull.

bad wheel bearings and tie rod ends also make weird noises and pulling issues from time to time.
