Yesterday I drove down to San Diego for a conference 100 miles round trip. No problem. Did the same drive today and the car suddenly has a very noticeable humming sound coming from the transmission and a noticeable clunk from where the CV joints enter the transmission when turning the front wheels from side to side while stopped. The humming is present even in neutral and/or with the clutch in.
Took the wheels off to check the CV joints and struts and swaybar. Broke 2 sockets with a 24" breaker bar trying to get the lugs undone. The dealer rotated the tires last time I had an oil change and torqued down the lugs WAY too much. I had to use an impact wrench and even that struggled to break them loose. The dealers here are just plain incompetent.
I think I am going to have to have a mechanic look at this one. Tranny work is above my pay grade. Perhaps a bearing? Idk.
