2005 Honda CRV Automatic with AWD at about 65K miles. I was expecting to find a torn CV boot on the front passenger side, but the boot looks intact. It was a bit hard to see though. I'm a big guy and getting underneath a car with enough room to really get a good look at something can be challenging. I ran my fingers around between the folds on both boots and didn't find a breach.
At this point, my problem is trying to find (for sure) which CV is bad. The car has four shafts with eight joints. Logic dictates that it is almost surely a front shaft end joint since they take the lion's share of the stress and wear. My money is on the front passenger side, but the sound is very hard to isolate from inside the vehicle. It sounds like it's coming from everywhere. I'm going to let my wife drive circles around me tonight as well, to see if I can more easily isolate the sound from outside the vehicle. If not tthat, then I'll get the sucker up high on the jack stands tonight and take a really bright light to it. There has to be some indication of where the problem is. Together, that should hopefully solve the problem of which joint is bad.
