So, something in the back is ticking. It only seems to happen over 30mph, and when going up/down hill and turning slightly. It just started this past weekend, so hopefully I still have time to do something to fix it and not have to replace everything with new parts. I crawled under the van a moment ago, but all of the boots look perfect. The 'outer' passenger side one looks sorta scrunched up tighter than the others, is that a sign of it starting to fail? The 'outer' drivers side one has some fresh-ish-looking grease in the little trailing arm thing (whatever you call that box the CV is hidden inside of.) - Perhaps that's the culprit? If all the boots look ok, should I just service all 4 of them now and be done with it? or is there some way to tell which is the bad one, so I can just service and/or replace that one? this is for my 81 westy. thanks, chris
