cv joint?

[kd8mki]

I am getting an intermittent knocking sound from the left front that sounds like a bad cv joint, but would a cv knock go away under braking? When the brakes are applied the noise goes away and if I stop short/quick the noise will go away for a while which leads me to believe it might be a caliper that randomly sticks? Any thoughts?

I had a thumping noise when the bearing/bushing in the end of the diff was worn out. Check with a prybar and see if you can lift the inboard end of the CV up and down. I had about 1/4" of play when I decided to tear mine apart.

Also check your steering rack bushings. They wear out too.... the driver's side one deteriorates faster from messy oil changes.

just an update, ended up being the sliders in the brake caliper seizing up
